SELF-SELECTION UNDER NON-ORDERED VALUATIONS: TYPE-SPLITTING, ENVY-CYCLES, RATIONING AND EFFICIENCY

Nahata, Babu; Kokovin, Serguei; Zhelobodko, Evgeny - EconWPA - 2003

We analyze self-selection problem when valuations are non-ordered. The corresponding package-pricing solution has specific graph structure. It is helpful in deriving weak su±cient conditions for both partial e±ciency and Pareto-e±ciency. Unlike the ordered valuations case, Pareto e±ciency is...
