We provide a survey of the literature on ranking sets of objects. The interpretations of those set ranking include those employed in the theory of choice under complete uncertianty, rankings of opportunity sets, set rankings that appear in matching theory, and the structure of assemly proferences.

We study the impact of farsightedness in a transboundary pollution game; i.e. the ability of a country to forecast the relationship between current emissions and future levels of pollution and thus on future damages. We show that when all countries are farsighted their payos are larger than when...

Uncertainties as to future supply costs of nonrenewable natural resources, such as oil and gas, raise the issue of the choice of supply sources. In a perfectly deterministic world, an efficient use of multiple sources of supply requires that any given market exhausts the supply it can draw from...

Nous déterminons des conditions nécessaires à l’existence d’équilibres de Nash markoviens parfaits en stratégies linéaires dans des jeux différentiels modélisant l’exploitation d’une ressource naturelle en propriété commune. Nous montrons que l’existence de tels équilibres...

This paper examines several families of population principles in the light of a set of axioms. In addition to the critical level utilitarian, number-sensitive critical-level utilitarian and number-dampened families and their generalized counterparts, we consider the restricted number-dampened...

In this paper, we present graphical and quantitative evidence on the important role played by changes in labor market institutions on the rise in wage inequality in the United States during the 1980s. We show that the decline in the real value of the minimium wage and in the rate of unionization...

Moulin (1999) characterizes the fixed-path rationing methods by efficiency, strategy-proofness, consistency, and resource-monotonicity. In this note, we give a straightforward proof of his result.

We study the problem of locating two public Godds for a group of agents with single-peaked preferences over an interval.
