Sharing the Cost of a Public Good without Subsidies

FLEURBAEY, Marc; SPRUMONT, Yves - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2006

We study the construction of a social ordering function for the case of a public good financed by contributions from the population, and we extend the analysis of Maniquet and Sprumont (2004) to the case when contributions cannot be negative, i.e. agents cannot receive subsidies from others.

Budget-Balance, Fairness and Minimal Manipulability

ANDERSSON, Tommy; EHLERS, Lars; SVENSSON, Lars-Gunnar - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2010

group of agents. Fairness requires that each agent weakly prefers his consumption bundle to any other agent’s bundle. Under … fairness, efficiency is equivalent to budget-balance (all the available money is allocated among the agents). Budget …-balance and fairness in general are incompatible with non-manipulability (Green and Laffont, 1979). We propose a new notion of the …

Rationalizability of Choice Functions on General Domains without Full Transitivity.

Bossert, W.; Sprumont, Y.; Suzumura, K. - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2001

The rationalizability of a choice function by means of a transitive relation has been analyzed thoroughly in the literature. However, not much seems to be known when transitivity is weakened to quasi-transitivity or acyclicity. We describe the logical relationship between the different notions...

We consider the problem of provisioon and cost-sharing of multiple public goods. The efficient equal factor equivalent allocation rule makes every agent indifferent between what he receives and the opportunity of choosing the bundle of public goods subject to the constraint of paying r times its...

Reference Groups and Individual Deprivation

BOSSERT, Walter; D’AMBROSIO, Conchita - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2004

We provide an axiomatization of Yitzhaki’s index of individual deprivation. Our result differs from an earlier characterization due to Ebert and Moyes in the way the reference group of an individual is represented in the model. Ebert and Moyes require the index to be defined for all logically...
