On Ranking Opportunity Sets in Economic Environments
This paper examines how freedom of choice as reflected in an agent's opportunity sets can be measured in economic environments where opportunity sets are non empty and compact subsets of the non-negative orthant of the n-dimensional real space. Several plausible axioms are proposed for this purpose. It is then shown that, under different sets of axioms, one can represent the ranking of compact ...
متن کاملOn the volume-ranking of opportunity sets in economic environments
The domain of polyconvex sets, i.e. finite unions of convex, compact, Euclidean sets, is large enough to encompass most of the opportunity sets typically encountered in economic environments, including non-linear or even non-convex budget sets, and opportunity sets arising from production sets. We provide a characterization of the volume-ranking as defined on the set of all polyconvex sets, rel...
متن کاملValue Neutrality and the Ranking of Opportunity Sets
I defend the idea that a liberal commitment to value neutrality is best honoured by maintaining a pure cardinality component in our rankings of opportunity or liberty sets. I consider two challenges to this idea. The first holds that cardinality rankings are unnecessary for neutrality, because what is valuable about a set of liberties from a liberal point of view is not its size but rather its ...
متن کاملEssentiality and convexity in the ranking of opportunity sets
This paper studies the essential elements (Puppe, 1996) associated with binary relations over opportunity sets. We restrict attention to binary relations which are reflexive and transitive (pre-orders) and which further satisfy a monotonicity and desirability condition. These are called opportunity relations (ORs). Our main results axiomatically characterise two important classes of ORs: those ...
متن کاملRobust Optimization of Recommendation Sets with the Maximin Utility Criterion
We investigate robust decision-making under utility uncertainty, using the maximin criterion, which optimizes utility for the worst case setting. We show how it is possible to efficiently compute the maximin optimal recommendation in face of utility uncertainty, even in large configuration spaces. We then introduce a new decision criterion, setwise maximin utility (SMMU), for constructing optim...
