On the reconciliation of efficiency and inequality aversion with heterogeneous populations: characterization results∗

چکیده
We characterize a family of r-extended generalized Lorenz dominance quasi-orderings and a family of r-Gini welfare orderings, on the basis of two allegedly “incompatible” axioms for heterogeneous welfare comparisons (Ebert, 1997, Ebert and Moyes, 2003, Shorrocks, 1995), but at the cost of either completeness or separability. JEL classification: D31, D63, I31.

The Impact of Distributional Preferences on (Experimental) Markets for Expert Services
The Impact of Distributional Preferences on (Experimental) Markets for Expert Services Credence goods markets suffer from inefficiencies arising from informational asymmetries between expert sellers and customers. While standard theory predicts that inefficiencies disappear if customers can verify the quality received, verifiability fails to yield efficiency in experiments with endogenous price...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of a full-scale ABS resin manufacturing wastewater treatment plant: a case study in Tabriz Petrochemical Complex
Background: The measurement data regarding the influent and effluent of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) provides a general overview, demonstrating an overall performance of WWTP. Nevertheless, these data do not provide the suitable operational information for the optimization of individual units involved in a WWTP. A full-scale evolution of WWTP was carried out in this study via a r...
متن کاملWealth inequality and dynamic stability
In this paper we explore the link between wealth inequality and stability in a two-sector neoclassical growth model with heterogeneous agents. The stability of the steady state depends on the various parameters of the model and in particular on individual preferences. We show that when consumers have identical preferences and the inverse of absolute risk aversion (or risk tolerance) is a strict...
متن کاملSynthesis, Characterization, and Efficiency Testing of Ag3PO4/TiO2 Heterogeneous Nano-Photocatalyst in Removing Gaseous Formaldehyde as an Occupational Carcinogen
Introduction: Rapid population growth and industrialization have increased chemical pollutants. Some studies show that employee exposure to formaldehyde in industrial places, hospitals, and laboratory settings is more than the allowed limits. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a proper control system to reduce this exposure. This study aimed to synthesize Ag3PO4/TiO2 nanocomposite, determi...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of TBA-PV2Mo10@PVA as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for oxidative desulfurization of gasoline
To prepare ultra-clean gasoline fuel, a new nanocomposite TBA-PV2Mo10@PVA was introduced as an efficient and green catalyst for oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process. The nanocomposite was successfully prepared by reaction of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBA), H5PMo10V2O40, and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) at room temperature via sol–gel method under oil-bath condition. The synthesized TBA-PV2Mo10...
