“…MOW transported to the composting site is processed and land applied. Composting inputs are diesel and electricity (Table S1) The coordinated market model used satisfies economic axioms of competitiveness (Sampat, 2019b) guaranteeing that no stakeholder loses money in the market (profits will never be less Tables 2 and 3, and includes variations in transport distances, tipping fees, and processing capacity to examine impacts of thse on market incentives.…”

<p>We apply systems engineering principals and life cycle analysis (LCA) to municipal waste supply chains to elucidate sustainability incentives. Environmental impacts are quantified using LCA for waste management technologies available in the supply chain, and included as products. The supply chain is modeled as a coordinated market and resolved using mathematical optimization techniques. Incorporating impacts as products allows us to analyze the influence of tax policy on optimal waste management strategies.</p>

“…They apply a stochastic programming version of the former model on a case study and report solutions on the Pareto frontier between maximizing expected net present value and total oil production while accounting for uncertainties in oil prices and productivity indices over long term time horizons. Finally, the special issue concludes with a contribution from Sampat and Zavala (2019), who present an axiomatic analysis of various utility allocation schemes and show conditions under which these schemes might lead to allocations that are unfair for the stakeholders. The authors illustrate these results with two case studies to allocate power and soil nutrients.…”

“…The allocation of resources among multiple stakeholders is a relevant problem for decision-making. Recently, an axiomatic approach including different allocation schemes has been reported (Sampat and Zavala 2019 ). Here, the deficiencies and desirable properties of these fairness allocation approaches are analyzed.…”

“…Additionally, the allocations might not capture stakeholder scales properly. On the other hand, the Rawlsian justice scheme was proposed by Rawls (Rawls 1971). This approach allocates resources by maximizing the utility of the smallest stakeholder, which means providing the greatest benefit to the least well-off members of society.…”

The fair allocation of resources among multiple stakeholders in any area is a complex challenge for decision-making. This paper presents an optimization strategy for the allocation of COVID-19 vaccines, when they are available, through different fairness schemes (social welfare, Nash, Rawlsian justice, and social welfare II scheme). The applicability of the proposed model is illustrated using the case study of Mexico, including the states of the country as stakeholders. We involve several parameters to guide the allocation, such as the size, risk profiles, and fraction of vulnerable groups in the population. Furthermore, different scenarios of the availability of potential COVID-19 vaccines were evaluated. The social welfare approach is the most commonly used scheme for the allocation of resources. However, we demonstrate that this scheme yields non-unique or multiple solutions (through the social welfare II approach). These social welfare approaches provide inequalities in the allocations that become critical when resources are scarce. Specifically, the social welfare scheme favors large stakeholders (greater population) in all scenarios. We also observe how the complexity of the allocation increases with the higher availability of vaccines. Hence, it is relevant to consider allocation schemes to identify fair solutions.
