The Pointlessness of Pareto: Carrying Coase Further

Pareto Efficiency and Identity∗

This paper examines the set of Pareto efficient allocations in a finite period Mirrlees (1971, 1976) economy; each period represents a lifetime for an agent who cares about the utility of his descendants. In making Pareto comparisons, we use an interim concept of efficiency, and consider an individual as indexed not only by his date of birth but also by the history of events up to his birth, in...

Pareto Efficiency and Approximate Pareto Efficiency in Routing and Load Balancing Games

We analyze the Pareto efficiency, or inefficiency, of solutions to routing games and load balancing games, focusing on Nash equilibria and greedy solutions to these games. For some settings, we show that the solutions are necessarily Pareto optimal. When this is not the case, we provide a measure to quantify the distance of the solution from Pareto efficiency. Using this measure, we provide upp...

a case study of the two translators of the holy quran: tahereh saffarzadeh and laleh bakhtiar

بطورکلی، کتاب های مقدسی همچون قران کریم را خوانندگان میتوان مطابق با پیش زمینه های مختلفی که درند درک کنند. محقق تلاش کرده نقش پیش زمینه اجتماعی-فرهنگی را روی ایدئولوژی های مترجمین زن و در نتیجه تاثیراتش را روی خواندن و ترجمه آیات قرآن کریم بررسی کند و ببیند که آیا تفاوت های واژگانی عمده ای میان این مترجمین وجود دارد یا نه. به این منظور، ترجمه 24 آیه از آیات قرآن کریم مورد بررسی مقایسه ای قرار ...

An Evolutionary Efficiency Alternative to the Notion of Pareto Efficiency

The paper argues that the notion of Pareto efficiency builds on two normative assumptions: the more general consequentialist norm of any efficiency criterion, and the strong no-harm principle of the prohibition of any redistribution during the economic process that hurts at least one person. These normative concerns lead to a constrained and static notion of efficiency in mainstream economics, ...
