Revealed Notions of Distributive Justice II: Experimental Evidence
Becker, Nicole; Häger, Kirsten; Heufer, Jan - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
We report the results of a combination of a dictator experiment with either a "social planner" or a "veil of ignorance" experiment. The experimental design and the analysis of the data are based on the theoretical framework proposed in the companion paper by Becker, Häger, and Heufer (BHH,...

Fairness and externalities
Velez, Rodrigo A. - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 11 (2016) 1, pp. 381-410
We study equitable allocation of indivisible goods and money among agents with other-regarding preferences. First, we argue that Foley's (1967) equity test, i.e., the requirement that no agent prefer the allocation obtained by swapping her consumption with another agent, is suitable for our...

Equity and efficiency when needs differ
Berg, Kristoffer; Håvarstein, Morten; Piacquadio, Paolo G. - 2024
There is no consensus on how to measure social welfare and inequality when households have different needs. As we show, a dilemma emerges between holding households responsible for their needs or compensating them. This dilemma is of first-order importance for social welfare, but generally plays...

Homothetic preferences revealed
Heufer, Jan; Hjertstrand, Per - 2017
We propose a method to recover homothetic preferences from choice data with minor optimization or measurement errors. Our method allows for a more detailed graphical analysis to reveal subjects' preferences and to choose appropriate functional forms for parametric analysis. It can also be used...

Distributive Justice for Behavioral Welfare Economics
Mandler, Michael - 2019
The incompleteness of behavioral preferences can lead many or even all allocations to qualify as Pareto optimal. But the incompleteness does not undercut the precision of utilitarian policy recommendations. Utilitarian methods can be applied to groups of goods or to the multiple social welfare...

On the malleability of fairness ideals : order effects in partial and impartial allocation tasks
Dengler-Roscher, Kathrin; Montinari, Natalia; … - 2015
How malleable are peopleś fairness ideals? Although fairness is an oft-invoked concept in allocation situations, it is still unclear whether and to what extent peopleś allocations reflect their fairness ideals. We investigate in a laboratory experiment whether peopleś fairness ideals vary...
