Relative Uncertainty and Additively Representable Set Rankings
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
This paper proposes a definition of relative uncertainty aversion for decision models under complete uncertainty. It is shown that, for a large class of decision rules characterized by a set of plausible axioms, the new ...
The Ghost in the Machine: Inferring Machine-Based Strategies from Observed Behavior
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
We introduce a procedure to infer the repeated-game strategies that generate actions in experimental choice data. We apply the technique to set of experiments where human subjects play a repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. The ...
The Progressivity of Equalization Payments in Federations
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
We investigate the conditions under which an inequality averse and additively separable welfarist constitution maker would always choose to set up a progressive equalization payments scheme in a federation with local public ...
Temporary Natural Resource Cartels
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
We analyze the behavior of a nonrenewable resource cartel that anticipates being forced, at some date in the future, to break-up into an oligopolistic market in which its members will then have to compete as rivals. Under ...
Nearly Serial Sharing Methods
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
A group of agents participate in a cooperative enterprise producing a single good. Each participant contributes a particular type of input; output is nondecreasing in these contributions. How should it be shared? We analyze ...
Bayesian Analysis for a Theory of Random Consumer Demand: The Case of Indivisible Goods
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
McCausland (2004a) describes a new theory of random consumer demand. Theoretically consistent random demand can be represented by a \"regular\" \"L-utility\" function on the consumption set X.
The present paper is about ...
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 ...
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 ...
Aimer hors chant : réinvention de l’amour et invention du “roman”
(2004)
Cet article s’intéresse à la rupture du lien entre l’amour et le chant qui informait la poésie lyrique, en soulignant comment cette disjonction contribue simultanément à la reconfiguration de l’érotique des romanciers et ...
Well-Being Freedom and The Possibility of Public-Provision Unit in Global Context
(Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2004)
The purpose of this paper is, first, to investigate the interconnections of substantive freedoms, which are indispensable for every individual to “lead the kind of lives they have reason to value” (Sen, 1999b, p.10,18), ...
