Abstract
We propose an intuitively simple sequential algorithm (SA) for the fair division of indivisible items that are strictly ranked by two or more players. We analyze several properties of the allocations that it yields and discuss SA’s application to real-life problems, such as dividing the marital property in a divorce or assigning people to committees or projects.
