一群室友应该如何分配他们所租房子里的房间和贡献？经济学家在过去40年的文献中对这个问题提供了部分答案。不幸的是，这些结果是以非线性的方式发展的，这使得非专业人士无法理解。最近，计算机科学家对这个问题产生了兴趣，从算法复杂性的角度进行了研究。随着这一新的兴趣获得牵引力，显然需要在经济学文献中对结果进行连贯的发展。这篇文章就是这样做的。特别是，我们在看似无关的结果之间建立了联系，大大简化了它们的开发，填补了重要的空白，并确定了开放的问题。我们的重点是激励问题，我们认为经济学家在这一讨论中可以做出更多贡献。
How should a group of roommates allocate the rooms and contributions to rent in the house they lease? Economists have provided partial answers to this question in a literature that spans the last 40 years. Unfortunately, these results were developed in a non-linear fashion, which obscures them to the non-specialist. Recently, computer scientists have developed an interest in this problem, advancing from an algorithmic complexity perspective. With this new interest gaining traction, there is an evident need for a coherent development of the results in economics literature. This article does so. In particular, we build connections among results that were seemingly unrelated and considerably simplify their development, fill in non-trivial gaps, and identify open questions. Our focus is on incentives issues, the area in which we believe economists have more to contribute in this discussion.
