A bitter choice turned sweet : how acknowledging individuals’ concern at having a low relative income serves to align utilitarianism and egalitarianism

Stark, Oded; Jakubek, Marcin; Kobus, Martyna - 2015

When individuals’ utility is a convex combination of their income and their concern at having a low relative income (the weights attached to income and to the concern at having a low relative income sum up to one), the maximization of aggregate utility yields an equal income distribution. This...
