Ambiguity on audits and cooperation in a public goods game

Dai, Zhixin; Hogarth, Robin M.; Villeval, Marie Claire - HAL - 2014

We investigate the impact of various audit schemes on the future provision of public goods, when contributing less than the average of the group is sanctioned exogenously and the probability of an audit is unknown. We study how individuals update their beliefs about the probability of being...

A non-dictatorial criterion for optimal growth models

Kama, Alain Ayong Le; Van, Cuong Le; Schubert, Katheline - HAL - 2008

There are two main approaches for defining social welfare relations for an economy with infinite horizon. The first one is to consider the set of intertemporal utility streams generated by a general set of bounded consumptions and define a preference relation between them. This relation is...

Tax-benefit revealed social preferences

Bourguignon, François; Spadaro, Amadéo - HAL - 2008

This paper inverts the usual logic of applied optimal income taxation. It starts from the observed distribution of income before and after redistribution and corresponding marginal tax rates. Under a set of simplifying assumptions, it is then possible to recover the social welfare function that...

Social Optimum in an OLG Model with Paternalistic Altruism

Davin, Marion; Gente, Karine; Nourry, Carine - HAL - 2011

There is no consensus yet on the correct way to write the social utility function in presence of paternalistic altruism … altruism enters the social utility function; otherwise it does only depend on the capital share as in the standard golden rule …. In a two-sector model, optimal growth depends on preferences and relative capital intensities when paternalistic altruism …

Edgeworth and Lindahl-Foley equilibria of a general equilibrium model with private provision of pure public goods

Florenzano, Monique; Mercato, Elena L. Del - HAL - 2006

In this paper, we propose a definition of Edgeworth equilibrium for a private ownership production economy with (possibly infinitely) many private goods and a finite number of pure public goods. We show that Edgeworth equilibria exist whatever be the dimension of the private goods space, and can...

General equilibrium

Florenzano, Monique - HAL - 2007

Unlike partial equilibrium analysis which study the equilibrium of a particular market under the clause "ceteris paribus" that revenues and prices on the other markets stay approximately unaffected, the ambition of a general equilibrium model is to analyze the simultaneous equilibrium in all...
