Choice Freedom and Redistribution Policies
Screpanti, Ernesto - 2003
measure of freedom is proposed which is apt to interpersonal comparisons of opportunity sets. Individual choice freedom may … that progressive taxation redistributes freedom in favour of the poor, all the more so when public revenues are used to … finance the public provision of goods, in which case overall freedom may result enlarged …

Uniform, equal division, and other envy-free rules between the two
Sakai, Toyotaka; Wakayama, Takuma - 2008
This paper studies the problem of fairly allocating an amount of a divisible resource when preferences are single-peaked. We characterize the class of envy-free and peak-only rules and show that the class forms a complete lattice with respect to a dominance relation. We also pin down the...

Balancing supply and demand under bilateral constraints
Bochet, Olivier; Ilkilic, Rahmi; Moulin, Hervé; … - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 7 (2012) 3, pp. 395-423
In a moneyless market, a non storable, non transferable homogeneous commodity is reallocated between agents with single-peaked preferences. Agents are either suppliers or demanders. Transfers between a supplier and a demander are feasible only if they are linked, and the links form an arbitrary...

Payoff equivalence of efficient mechanisms in large matching markets
Che, Yeon-Koo; Tercieux, Olivier - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 13 (2018) 1, pp. 239-271
We study Pareto efficient mechanisms in matching markets when the number of agents is large and individual preferences are randomly drawn from a class of distributions, allowing for both common and idiosyncratic shocks. We provide a broad set of circumstances under which, as the market grows...

A complete and strongly anonymous leximin relation on infinite streams
Asheim, Geir B.; Zuber, Stéphane - 2011
Various extensions of the leximin order to the infinite dimensional setting have been suggested. They relax completeness and strong anonymity. Instead, by removing sensitivity to generations at infinite rank this paper defines a complete and strongly anonymous leximin relation on infinite...

Fair reallocation in economies with single-peaked preferences
Hashimoto, Kazuhiko; Wakayama, Takuma - 2015
We consider the problem of fairly reallocating the individual endowments of a perfectly divisible good among agents with single-peaked preferences. We provide a new concept of fairness, called position-wise envy-freeness, that is compatible with individual rationality. This new concept requires...

Multidimensional Poverty Measurement with Individual Preferences
Decancq, Koen - 2014
We propose a new class of multidimensional poverty indices. Aggregation of the different dimensions relies on individual preferences. The Pareto principle is, therefore, satisfied among the poor. The indices add up individual measures of poverty that are computed as a convex transform of the...

No price envy in the multi-unit object allocation problem with non-quasi-linear preferences
Shinozaki, Hiroki - 2022
We consider the problem of allocating multiple units of an indivisible object among a set of agents and collecting payments. Each agent can receive multiple units of the object, and has a (possibly) non-quasi-linear preference on the set of (consumption) bundles. We assume that preferences...

The Impossibility of Non-Paternalistic Social Choice With Semi-Ordered Preferences
Alexandrie, Gustav - 2022
Environments with semi-ordered preferences, which may exhibit indifference intransitivity, are known to allow just-noticeable differences in preference intensity to serve as interpersonally comparable units of utility. I prove two impossibility theorems for social choice in such environments....
