The non manipulability of the utilitarian solution
(2010-03-25)
In this paper we model threat bargaining problems as fixed threat bargaining games (with the threat point at the origin) and show that the utilitarian solution to threat bargaining problems is not manipulable.
Group decision theory and production planning problems
(2010-03-26)
In the present work it is argued that a group decision problem can be viewed as a problem in output choice of a regulated firm and conversely. Having developed the above isomorphism, we turn to a related problem: that ...
An axiomatic characterization of the equal loss choice function for multiattribute choice problems
(2010-03-27)
In this paper we provide an axiomatic characterization of the equal loss choice function for multiattribute choice problem.
Existence of equilibrated states in multi criteria decision making problems
(2010-03-26)
My interest in multi-criteria decision making is mainly due to my interactions with my colleague Professor P.R.Shukla. I have had the benefit of many useful discussions on this topic with Professor Prakash Abad, as well. ...
Strictly fair allocations in economies with a public good
(2010-03-26)
In this paper we define the concept of strictly fair allocations in economies with public good and show that an equal income Lindahl Equilibrium allocation is strictly fair conversely if an allocation is strictly fair in ...
Redundancy of additional alternatives and solutions to bargaining problems
(2010-03-28)
In this paper we propose a new axiom called the redundancy of additional alternatives axiom, which is satisfied by the proportional solution. A weaker version of the same axiom is satisfied by the Kalai-Smorodinsky (3) ...
Ordinal comparisons in choice problems: a diagrammatic exposition
(2010-03-27)
The basic problem in choice theory is to choose a point from a set of available points. A large literature has grown where the central issue is the choice of a vector from a compact, convex and comprehensive (terms to be ...
On the existence and efficiency of a voting equilibrium for a public good economy
(2010-03-28)
The main purpose of this paper is to formalise the concept of a compromise function. Subsequently, given a compromise function, we define a voting equilibrium and prove the existence of such an equilibrium. Finally, we ...
Simple proof providing an axiomatic characterization of the kalai-smorodinsky solution
(2010-03-27)
In this paper we provide a simple proof for the axiomatic characterization of the Kalai-Smorodinsky Solution.
Rationing and the private provision of a public good
(2010-03-28)
In this paper we study a solution concept for resource allocation in an economy with public goods and a fixed set of cost-shares for each agent. This solution is originally due to Champsaur (1979). We study the existence ...
