B.A seminar
Psychology department, Ben-Gurion University 

From children sharing toys to managers allocating bonuses to employees, we all face resource allocation dilemmas. While some allocations are simple and straightforward, others may lead to dilemmas regarding the most equitable, fair, efficient and just allocation. This seminar examined the ideas of fairness and equity in resource allocation- what sort of dilemmas they arise, what are the psychological mechanisms they rely on, and are they unique to human societies.
