Abstract

We consider allocation problems with indivisible goods when preferences are single-peaked. In this paper we identify the family of efficient, non-manipulable, consistent, and balanced solutions. We refer those solutions as Temporary Satisfaction Methods,that can be viewed as extensions to the indivisible case of the so-called uniform rule.
