Review text

In [\textit{H. Moulin}, J. Econ. Theory 84, 41--72 (1999; Zbl 0917.90027)], fixed-path rationing methods are characterized by efficiency, strategy-proofness, consistency, and resource-monotonicity. Theorem (Moulin). A rule satisfies efficiency, strategy-proofness, consistency, and resource-monotonicity if and only if it is a fixed-path rationing method. In the note a straightforward proof of this theorem is given.
