In this paper we consider solutions which select from the core. For games with side payments with at least four players, it is well-known that no core-selection satisfies monotonicity for all coalitions; for the particular class of core-selections found by maximizing a social welfare function over the core, we investigate whether such solutions are monotone for a given coalition. It is shown th...

In this research, we attempt to analyze the degree of social alienation and also the social factors which affect on social alienation of young people. The statistical society of this research includes twenty up to thirty year- old  young people of Yasouj. 360  young people about twenty up to thirty years- old were selected based on sex and stratified sampling and examined through questionnaire....

We introduce a new class of inequalities valid for the cut polytope, which we call gap inequalities. Each gap inequality is given by a nite sequence of integers, whose \gap" is deened as the smallest discrepancy arising when decomposing the sequence into two parts as equal as possible. Gap inequalities include the hypermetric inequalities and the negative type inequalities, which have been exte...

In this work we suggest a Belief-Desires-Intentions mental model that provides agents with the social competence to capture and reason about their goals with respect to the goals of other agents/humans in the environment. The suggested architectural model would enable the implementation of generic social competent agents that would interact differently towards different groups. We explore the a...

This paper draws out some implications of son targeting fertility behaviour for gender inequality. It is demonstrated that such behaviour has two notable implications at the aggregate level: (a)larger number of siblings for girls (Sibling Effect), and (b)a higher within-family birth order for boys (Birth Order Effect). While the first tends to worsen gender inequality through monetary factors, ...

Objectives: Social development in children is influenced by several factors, including family, school friends, television, gender, race, socioeconomic status, and locomotor activity, and depending on the situation and how they react to it, social development and maturity might get accelerated or get undermined. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between fine moto...

The dual notion of Pareto-e¢ciency (i.e., individual utilities cannot be reached with fewer resources than those of the allocation under consideration) is used in order to de...ne the resources-core. A measure of social loss with respect to the core is then introduced, more or less as already done with respect to the locus of e¢cient allocations. JEL Classi...cation: D61

In both the popular press and modern identity politics, societal groups are clamoring for respect, o+ en in lieu of economic redistribution (see, for example, Fraser, 1995; Honneth, 1995, 2001; Miller, 1993; Taylor, 1994), and individual citizens are calling for respect in civil discourse (e.g., Carter, 1998). “History echoes with passionate pleas for justice and charity, but in our times, incr...
