Health and inequality
O'Donnell, Owen; Van Doorslaer, Eddy; Van Ourti, Tom - 2013
We examine the relationship between income and health with the purpose of establishing the extent to which the distribution of health in a population contributes to income inequality and is itself a product of that inequality. The evidence supports a significant and substantial impact of...

We estimate responsibility-sensitive welfare weights for health that facilitate inequalityand inequity-sensitive policy evaluation. In a UK general population sample, 569 online experiment participants distribute constrained resources to determine the health of hypothetical individuals...

Aversion to health inequality : pure, income-related and income-caused
Robson, Matthew; O'Donnell, Owen; Van Ourti, Tom - 2023
We design a novel experiment to identify aversion to pure (univariate) health inequality separately from aversion to income-related and income-caused health inequality. Participants allocate resources to determine health of individuals. Identification comes from random variation in resource...

Uncertainty of law and the legal process
Dari-Mattiacci, Guiseppe; Deffains, Bruno - 2005
There is extensive literature on whether courts or legislators produce efficient rules, but which of them produces rules efficiently? The law is subject to uncertainty ex ante; uncertainty makes the outcomes of trials difficult to predict and deters parties from settling disputes out of court. In...

Positional power in hierarchies
Brink, René van den; Steffen, Frank - 2007
Power is a core concept in the analysis and design of organisations. In this paper we consider positional power in … hierarchies. One of the problems with the extant literature on positional power in hierarchies is that it is mainly restricted to … the analysis of power in terms of the bare positions of the actors. While such an analysis informs us about the authority …

Power is a core concept in the analysis and design of organizations. One of the problems with the extant literature on … positional power in hierarchies is that it is mainly restricted to the analysis of power in terms of the bare positions of the …-established approaches for the analysis of power in non-hierarchical organizations such as the Banzhaf measure; and thus they are all based …

Pareto efficiency in the jungle
Houba, Harold; Luttens, Roland Iwan; Weikard, Hans-Peter - 2014
We include initial holdings in the jungle economy of Piccione and Rubinstein (Economic Journal, 2007) in which the unique equilibrium satisfies lexicographic welfare maximization. When we relax assumptions on consumption sets and preferences slightly, equilibria other than lexicographic welfare...
