The Pareto principle and resource egalitarianism

نویسنده

چکیده

This paper introduces and studies the leximin Paretian ordering, which refines the consensual leximin ordering by adding the Pareto principle to the concept of lexicographic egalitarianism. We also provide an alternative characterization of the consensual Rawlsian ordering. We introduce several new axioms, including the Permutation Pareto Principle and Internal Dominance, and study their logical relationships.

The value of equality∗

Over the years, egalitarian philosophers have made some challenging claims about the nature of egalitarianism. They have argued that the Rawlsian leximin principle is not an egalitarian idea; that egalitarian reasoning should make us reject the Pareto principle; that the numbers should not count within an egalitarian framework; that egalitarianism should make us reject the property of transitiv...

On the Possibility of Continuous, Paretian and Egalitarian Evaluation of Infinite Utility Streams∗

There exists a utilitarian tradition à la Sidgwick of treating equal generations equally in the form of anonymity. Diamond showed that no social evaluation ordering over infinite utility streams satisfying the Pareto principle, Sidgwick’s equity principle, and the axiom of continuity exists. We introduce two versions of egalitarianism in the spirit of the Pigou-Dalton transfer principle and the...

A common ground for resource and welfare egalitarianism

Resource egalitarianism and welfare egalitarianism are two focal conceptions of distributive justice. We show in this paper that they share a solid common ground. To do so, we analyze a simple model of resource allocation in which agents’ abilities (to transform the resource into an interpersonally comparable outcome) and starting points may differ. Both conceptions of egalitarianism are natura...

Egalitarianism under earmark constraints

A homogeneous resource coming from several suppliers is divided among agents with singlepeaked preferences. Each agent has access to an arbitrary fixed subset of supliers. Examples include balancing the workload of machines, sharing earmarked funds between different projects, and distributing utilities under geographic constraints. Unlike in the one supplier model (Sprumont [25]), in a Pareto o...

Discriminative MO-COP Operators

We address the problem of multi-objective constraint optimization problems (MO-COPs). Solving an MO-COP traditionally consists in computing the set of all Pareto solutions (i.e. the Pareto front). But this Pareto front is exponentially large in the general case. So this causes two main problems. First is the time complexity concerns. Second is a lack of decisiveness. In this paper, we present t...
