Probabilistic Assignments of Identical Indivisible Objects and Uniform Probabilistic Rules
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
We consider a probabilistic approach to the problem of assigning k indivisible identical objects to a set of agents with single-peaked preferences. Using the ordinal extension of preferences, we characterize the class of ...
Multiple Public Goods and Lexicographic Preferences Replacement Principle
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
We study the problem of locating two public goods for a group of agents with single-peaked preferences over an interval. An alternative specifies a location for each public good. In Miyagawa (1998), each agent consumes ...
On Fixed-Path Rationing Methods
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
Moulin (1999) characterizes the fixed-path rationing methods by efficiency, strategy-proofness, consistency, and resource-monotonicity. In this note, we give a straightforward proof of his result.
The Measurement of Diversity
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
The notion of diversity is an issue that is of relevance in several contexts. For example, the biodiversity of a given ecological environment and the diversity of the options available to a decision maker have attracted ...
The Axiomatic Approach to Population Ethics
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
This paper examines several families of population principles in the light of a set of axioms. In addition to the critical-level utilitarian, number-sensitive critical-level utilitarian and number-dampened families and ...
