As it is known, there is no rule satisfying Additivity in the complete domain of bankruptcy problems. This paper proposes a notion of partial Additivity in this context, to be called m-additivity. We find that m-additivity, together with two quite compelling axioms, anonymity and continuity,...

This paper proposes a notion of partial Additivity in bankruptcy, -Additivity. We show that this property, together with Anonymity and Continuity, identifies the Minimal Overlap rule, introduced by O'Neill (1982).
