论文摘要
我们旨在设计一种公平意识的分配方法，以最大程度地提高地理多样性，并避免在人口差异的意义上不公平。在这项工作的开发过程中，Covid-19的大流行仍在美国和世界其他地区大规模传播。许多贫穷的社区和少数群体比其他群体更容易受到伤害。为了向所有居民提供足够的疫苗和医疗资源，并有效地停止了大流行的进一步传播，社区的人均医疗资源的平均医疗资源应独立于社区的人口特征，而仅基于对疾病的接触率的条件。在本文中，我们整合了资源分配的各个方面，并寻求一种协同的干预策略，该策略在分发医疗资源时为较高优先级的脆弱人群提供了。以预防为中心的策略是地理覆盖范围和社会群体公平之间的权衡。拟议的原则可以应用于其他稀缺资源和社会福利分配。
We aim to design a fairness-aware allocation approach to maximize the geographical diversity and avoid unfairness in the sense of demographic disparity. During the development of this work, the COVID-19 pandemic is still spreading in the U.S. and other parts of the world on large scale. Many poor communities and minority groups are much more vulnerable than the rest. To provide sufficient vaccine and medical resources to all residents and effectively stop the further spreading of the pandemic, the average medical resources per capita of a community should be independent of the community's demographic features but only conditional on the exposure rate to the disease. In this article, we integrate different aspects of resource allocation and seek a synergistic intervention strategy that gives vulnerable populations with higher priority when distributing medical resources. This prevention-centered strategy is a trade-off between geographical coverage and social group fairness. The proposed principle can be applied to other scarce resources and social benefits allocation.
