Subtractive versus ratio model of "fair" allocation: can the group level analyses be misleading?
Article Abstract:
Group and individual decisions on what is fair allocation differ. Group analyses favored the ratio model, while the majority of the individuals favored the more accurate subtractive model. The discrepancy may be due to the differences in the models per se, or in the number of observations which affect statistical power of the tests used. Culture and age also inform decision making discrepancies at both group and individual levels. These results show the need for an alternative approach to predict decision making strategies regarding allocations and the role of the individual allocator.

"Fair" allocations of pay and workload: tests of a subtractive model with nonlinear judgment function
Article Abstract:
A subtractive model with sigmoidal-shaped judgment function is applied to determine employee perceptions about 'fair' allocations of pay and workload. The 'fair' allocation of pay was found to follow a subtractive rule. Fairness was measured based on difference between pay and the amount of work put in by an individual. The J-shape of the judgment function was also attributed to the floor and ceiling effects of responses.

Group harmony and interpersonal fairness in reward allocation: on the loci of the moderation effect
Article Abstract:
Response, input and response-input distortions are responses used to achieve group harmony. Analysis of Indian participants revealed that response distortions are the most widely used reaction towards attainment of group harmony followed by input distortions and response-input distortions. The model of subtraction, as well as ratio model, was proven effective in representing fair allocation.
