allocational
Pertaining to distribution
Allocational describes something relating to or involving allocation—the distribution or assignment of resources, funds, or responsibilities.
The term appears most often in economics and policy discussions: allocational efficiency, allocational decisions.
It emphasizes the process or principles by which things get divided up rather than the things themselves.
