Talk:Resource allocation

Dr. Moreno-Ternero's comment on this article
Dr. Moreno-Ternero has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"In economics, the area of public finance deals with three broad areas: macroeconomic stabilization, the distribution of income and wealth, and the allocation of resources. Much of the study of the allocation of resources is devoted to finding the conditions under which particular mechanisms of resource allocation lead to Pareto efficient outcomes, in which no party's situation can be improved without hurting that of another party. This paragraph should be enriched by referring to equity concepts in resource allocation, which go beyond Pareto efficiency. In the last forty years, a variety of formal criteria of economic justice have been introduced in economic theory (see, for instance, Thomson (2014) and the literature cited therein). These criteria have broad conceptual appeal, as well as significant operational power, and have contributed considerably to our understanding of normative issues concerning the allocation of goods and services. A focal reference is the following: Thomson, W., 2014. The Theory of Fair Allocation, Princeton University Press. Forthcoming."

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Allocation problem in life cycle analysis
I believe that in life cycle analysis and other environmental fields, the allocation problem (resource allocation problem redirects to this article) refers to the question who should be held responsible for resources shared in a complex fashion between multiple processes or consumers. If that is correct, this sense should also be mentioned or a disambiguation page is wanted. Our LCA article mentions under Goal and scope the ‘allocation methods’ but does not use the term ‘allocation problem’. PJTraill (talk) 19:18, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
