On the optimality of progressive income redistribution
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2012-08)
We compute the optimal non-linear tax policy for a dynastic economy with uninsurable risk, where generations are linked by dynastic wealth accumulation and correlated incomes. Unlike earlier studies, we find that the optimal ...
Using ABC narrative recording to identify the function of problem behavior: a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2013)
Many professionals report using ABC narrative recording to identify the function of problem behavior in children with developmental disabilities, but research has not established whether their analyses yield valid results. ...
Peer victimization and anxiety in genetically vulnerable youth : the protective roles of teachers' self-efficacy and anti-bullying classroom rules
(Springer, 2015-08)
Many victimized youngsters are at risk of developing internalizing problems, and this risk seems to be especially pronounced when they are genetically vulnerable for these problems. It is unclear, however, whether protective ...
Effects of reducing stereotypy on other behaviors: a systematic review
(Elsevier, 2013)
Researchers have shown that high levels of stereotypy in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders were correlated with more significant impairments in social and adaptive functioning. Reducing stereotypy may ...
Strategy-proof preference aggregation
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2012-08)
An aggregation rule maps each profile of individual strict preference orderings
over a set of alternatives into a social ordering over that set. We call such a rule strategyproof if misreporting one’s preference never ...
Strategy-proofness makes the difference: deferred-acceptance with responsive priorities
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2012-09)
In college admissions and student placements at public schools, the admission decision can be thought of as assigning indivisible objects with capacity constraints to a set of students such that each student receives at ...
Some effects of asymmetries in a common pool natural resource oligopoly
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2012-08)
Nous envisageons le cas d'une ressource naturelle renouvelable exploitée en commun par des firmes qui se concurrencent à la fois dans le marché du produit et dans l'exploitation de la ressource. Nous montrons que ...
Assigning Refugees to Landlords in Sweden: Stable Maximum Matchings
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2016-12)
The member states of the European Union received 1.2 million first time asylum applications in 2015 (a doubling compared to 2014). Even if asylum will be granted for many of the refugees that made the journey to Europe, ...
Strategyproof Choice of Acts : Beyond Dictatorship
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2017-05)
We model social choices as acts mapping states of nature to (public) outcomes. A social choice function (or SCF) assigns an act to every profile of subjective expected utility preferences over acts. A SCF is strategyproof ...
Relative Nash welfarism

Relative Nash welfarism is a solution to the problem of aggregating von Neumann-Morgenstern preferences over a set of lotteries. It ranks such lotteries according to the product of any collection of 0-normalized von ...
