The Adjusted Winner Procedure

The adjusted winner procedure is a method of fair division for settling disputes between two parties when there are several items (or issues) involved. Each party independently allocates a total of 100 points to the items involved, with the allocation reflecting the relative importance of those items to that party. The adjusted winner procedure is then used to determine which party gets which items, and whether or not there must be a compromise on one of the issues. This Demonstration lets you allocate the points for both parties and illustrates the division procedure step-by-step. Several fixed examples of allocations are included for quick use.
