2. What is the key condition that characterizes the subset of sharing rules?
A sharing rule P verifies Proportionality on Linear Economies (PLE) if P coincides with the Proportional Rule when the technology f displays constant returns to scale.

3. What is the simplest way to show that there is an economy?
Then the authors will show that there is an economy (u,f )[% with two agents and where f displays ¯constant returns to scale, such that P is not efficient and individually rational.

4. What is the definition of a sharing rule?
The authors say that a sharing rule P is efficient and individually rational if for every (u, f )[% SEthere is an allocation (x,, )[w (u, f,P) such that u (x ,, )$u (0,0) ;i[N.i i i iIn the above definition the authors assume that the outside option is zero consumption and zero labor contribution.
