Consistent Relations
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2006)
Consistency, a natural weakening of transitivity introduced in a seminal contribution by Suzumura (1976b), has turned out to be an interesting and promising concept in a variety of areas within economic theory. This paper ...
The Possibility of Ordering Infinite Utility Streams
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
This paper revisits Diamond’s classical impossibility result regarding the ordering of infinite utility streams. We show that if no representability condition is imposed, there do exist strongly Paretian and finitely ...
Deprivation and Social Exclusion
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
Social exclusion manifests itself in the lack of an individual’s access to functionings as compared to other members of society. Thus, the concept is closely related to deprivation. We view deprivation as having two basic ...
Resource-Monotonicity for House Allocation Problems
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2003)
We study a simple model of assigning indivisible objects (e.g., houses, jobs, offices, etc.) to agents. Each agent receives at most one object and monetary compensations are not possible. We completely describe all rules ...
Efficient Priority Rules
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2003)
We study the assignment of indivisible objects with quotas (houses, jobs, or offices) to a set of agents (students, job applicants, or professors). Each agent receives at most one object and monetary compensations are not ...
Anonymous Single-Profile Welfarism
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
This note reexamines the single-profile approach to social-choice theory. If an alternative is interpreted as a social state of affairs or a history of the world, it can be argued that a multi-profile approach is inappropriate ...
Aumann-Shapley Pricing : A Reconsideration of the Discrete Case
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
We reconsider the following cost-sharing problem: agent i = 1,...,n demands a quantity xi of good i; the corresponding total cost C(x1,...,xn) must be shared among the n agents. The Aumann-Shapley prices (p1,...,pn) are ...
Interpersonal Comparisons of Well-Being
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
This paper, which is to be published as a chapter in the Oxford Handbook of Political Economy, provides an introduction to social-choice theory with interpersonal comparisons of well-being. We argue that the most promising ...
Reference Groups and Individual Deprivation
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
We provide an axiomatization of Yitzhaki’s index of individual deprivation. Our result differs from an earlier characterization due to Ebert and Moyes in the way the reference group of an individual is represented in the ...
Intertemporal Social Evaluation
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2005)
Intertemporal social-evaluation rules provide us with social criteria that can be used to assess the relative desirability of utility distributions across generations. The trade-offs between the well-being of different ...
