Impossibility of anonymous ordinal solutions for two person bargaining problems
(2010-07-27)
In this paper we prove the non-existence of pure bargaining solutions which satisfy Pareto optimality, Anonymity and Invariance With Respect to Allowable Ordinal Transformations.
Elementary Proof in Rational Choice Theory Revisited
(2010-07-27)
In this paper we prove a result which, apart from having independent interest, has found applications in recent mathematical economic literature of rational choice theory. The result states that if a two-dimensional demand ...
Reconsideration of some solutions for two dimensional choice problems
(2010-04-08)
In this paper, the outstanding problem of axiomatically characterizing what is referred in the paper as additive c hoice function on the classical domain for choice problems is taken into account. Apart from an impossibility ...
Average welfare fair and egalitarian solutions for bargaining problems
(2010-03-21)
In this paper e present an alternative characterization of the Egalitarian Solution for bargaining problems and show that the Egalitarian solution has the property that for any agent the incremental utility from bargaining ...
Continuity of bargaining solutions defined with respect to a criterion
(2010-03-21)
In this paper we study continuity properties of bargaining solutions which are defined with respect to a criterion function. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the solutions to be continuous and the exercise is carried ...
Axiomatic characterization of the constrained equal awards solution for rationing problems
(2010-03-31)
In this paper we propose two different, yet related axiomatic characterizations of the Constrained Equal Award Solution for rationing problems. The solution itself and its implications are studied in the context of an item ...
Comment on the adjusted proportional solution for rationing problems
(2010-04-05)
In this paper we obtain a simple expression for the adjusted proportional solution for rationing problems, when a fixed supply of an infinitely divisible good has to be divided only among two people, and when their demands ...
The Nash-Bargaining solution for public sector pricing problems
(2010-03-22)
In this paper we study some issues in positive second-best theory, specifically the theory of optimal pricing of private goods produced by public firms: i.e, firms whose objective departs from profit maximization. The ...
Existence of efficient and egalitarian efficient tax allocations
(2010-04-17)
In this paper, we study an optimal tax allocation problem where the utility of each agent depends on his own income as well as on the income of the other tax payers. The objective of the government is seen as maximizing ...
Some concepts of distributive justice in bargaining problems
(2010-07-27)
In this paper we study the problems associated with distributive justice in an abstract framework originally conceived for the analysis of social choice and bargaining problems. Induced social choice correspondences are ...
