Axiomatic characterization of budget constrained Pareto efficient social choice for fair division problems
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 1998-11-01)In this paper, we axiomatically characterize the social choice correspondence, which picks for each economy, the set of equal income budget constrained Pareto efficient allocations. We are able to characterize this social ... -
Axiomatic characterization of indirect utility and lexicographic extensions
(2010-01-16)The general problem we are interested in this paper is of the following variety: We are given a finite universal set and a linear ordering on it. What is the minimal axiomatic characterization of particular extension of ... -
Axiomatic characterization of some extensions
(2009-12-12)The general problem we are interested in this paper is of the following variety. We are given a finite universal set and a linear ordering on it. What is the minimal axiomatic characterization of a particular extension of ... -
Axiomatic characterization of the cao choice function for multiattribute choice problems
(2009-12-12)In this paper we provide an axiomatic characterization of a choice function due to Cao (1981) multiattribute choice problems. -
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 ... -
Axiomatic characterization of the equal income market equilibrium choice correspondence in non convex economies
(2010-04-01)A property of allocation rules (in problems involving fair division of infinitely divisible goods amongst a finite number of agents) that has received considerable attention in recent literature is consistency. The property ... -
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. -
Axiomatic characterization of the lexicographic utilitarian collective utility function
(2010-03-29)In this paper we axiomatically characterize the family of lexicographic utilitarian collective utility functions. As a by-product we obtain the utilitarian collective utility function by imposing a shift anonymity condition. ... -
An Axiomatic characterization of the value function for bimatrix games
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 1990-10-01)In this paper we obtain an axiomatic characterization of the value function for the class of all bi matrix games satisfying the equivalency and efficiency properties. -
Axiomatic characterizations of solutions for rationing problems
(2010-07-27)Situations abound in the real world, where aggregate demand for a commodity exceeds aggregate supply. When such situations of excess demand occur, what is required is some kind of rationing. The literature on rationing ... -
Axiomatic characterizations of some solutions for abstract games
(2010-01-16)An abiding problem in choice theory has been one of characterizing those choice functions which are obtained as a result of some kind of optimization. Specifically, the endeavour has concentrated largely on finding a binary ... -
Axiomatic characterizations of the CEA solution for rationing problems
(2009-12-12)Situations abound in the real world, where aggregate demand for a commodity exceeds aggregate supply. When such situations of excess demand occur, what is required is some kind of rationing. The literature on rationing ... -
Axiomatic characterizations of voting operators
(2009-12-12)In this paper we provide a model for the analysis of the electoral process. We prove some theorems in this paper, which characterize some voting operators. Apart form other well-known voting operators existing in the ... -
The badla system revisited
(2009-12-12)This paper is an attempt to examine the issues underlying the current debate about reintroducing the badla system. The differences between badla system on one hand and options and futures markets on the other are highlighted. ... -
Badla system: a reappraisal
(2010-04-03)The badla system, which allowed transactions to be carried forward from one trading valan to the next, was banned by the SEBI in March 1994. SEBI was hoping that for the purpose of speculative trading, an internationally ... -
Badla trading: a primer and a proposal
(2010-03-31)This paper explains the mechanics of badla trading and settlement. It reviews badla transactions, fixation of havala rates and margins, the market process of determining the badla rates, and payment procedures. The accounting ... -
Bagasse based paper and newprint in India: economic and policy issues
(2010-07-20)Bagasse usage as a cellulosic material for paper and newsprint making has been induced by the Government of India. The paper summarizes the relevant policies. Seven caselets pertaining to bagasse based paper and newsprint ... -
Balancing U-shaped assembly lines with resource dependent task times: a simulated annealing approach
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2013)The advent of Just-in-Time (JIT) and Group Technology philosophies has popularized U-shaped assembly lines, which help overcome many of the disadvantages, like line inflexibility, job monotony, large inventories, etc., ... -
Bangalore Cluster: Evolution, Growth and Challenges
(2009-09-01)The dynamism and persistence of competitiveness among industrial clusters, even in the wake of globalization and liberalization in the 1990s, has led researchers to explore the causes of dynamic efficiencies at the cluster ... -
