Abstract
We initiate the work on fair and strategyproof allocation of indivisible chores. The fairness concept
we consider in this paper is maxmin share (MMS)
fairness. We consider three previously studied
models of information elicited from the agents: the
ordinal model, the cardinal model, and the public
ranking model in which the ordinal preferences are
publicly known. We present both positive and negative results on the level of MMS approximation
that can be guaranteed if we require the algorithm
to be strategyproof. Our results uncover some interesting contrasts between the approximation ratios
achieved for chores versus goods
