A cooperative game with transferable utilities– or simply a TU-game – describes a situation in which players can obtain certain payoffs by cooperation. A solution concept for these games is a function which assigns to every such a game a distribution of payoffs over the players in the game.
Famous solution concepts for TU-games are the Shapley value and the Banzhaf value. Both solution concepts have been axiomatized in various ways.
An important difference between these two solution concepts is the fact that the Shapley value always distributes the payoff
that can be obtained by the `grand coalition' consisting of all players cooperating together while the Banzhaf value does
not satisfy this property, i.e., the Banzhaf value is not efficient. In this paper we consider the normalized Banzhaf value which distributes the payoff that can be obtained by the `grand coalition' proportional to the Banzhaf values of the players.
This value does not satisfy certain axioms underlying the Banzhaf value. In this paper we introduce some new axioms that characterize
the normalized Banzhaf value. We also provide an axiomatization of the Shapley value using similar axioms.

In an infinite-horizon setting, Ferejohn and Page showed that any social welfare function satisfying Arrow’s axioms and stationarity
must be a dictatorship of the first generation. Packel strengthened this result by proving that no collective choice rule
generating complete social preferences can satisfy unlimited domain, weak Pareto and stationarity. We prove that this impossibility
survives under a domain restriction and without completeness. We propose an alternative stationarity axiom and show that a
social welfare function on a specific domain satisfies this modified version and some standard social choice axioms if and
only if it is a chronological dictatorship. 相似文献

We study the problem of assigning object types without monetary transfer. Each type has a number of copies. Each individual is assigned at most one copy of a type. We examine some desirable axioms and study the sequential priority rules. Our main result is that the sequential priority rules are the only rules that satisfy weak non-wastefulness, weak neutrality, strategy-proofness, resource monotonicity, and bilateral consistency. 相似文献

We investigate the social choice implications of what we call “the proximity condition”. Loosely speaking, this condition says that whenever a profile moves “closer” to some individual’s point of view, then the social choice cannot move “further away” from this individual’s point of view. We apply this idea in two settings: merging functions and preference aggregation. The precise formulation of the proximity condition depends on the setting. First, restricting attention to merging functions that are interval scale invariant, we prove that the only functions that satisfy proximity are dictatorships. Second, we prove that the only social welfare functions that satisfy proximity and a version of the Pareto criterion are dictatorships. We conclude that either proximity is not an attractive normative requirement after all, or we must give up some other social choice condition. Another possibility is that our normative intuition about proximity needs to be codified using different axioms. 相似文献

This paper examines the existence of equitable preferences on intergenerational consumption paths in an infinite horizon setting. There are two ethical considerations that capture the concept of intergenerational equity: inequality aversion in allocations and equality in treating generations. They are embodied in the Pigou–Dalton principle and anonymity, respectively. We investigate the existence of binary relations that satisfy these two axioms, as well as other standard axioms, such as monotonicity, transitivity, or continuity, on various domains. We show that any domain admitting such a binary relation is quite restricted: its interior is empty and contains no sustainable consumption path. 相似文献

Our results show the intimate relationship between a large group of apparently different rankings of opportunity distributions.
First, we provide a set of core basic axioms that are intuitively plausible under any concern for equality or efficiency aspects.
Second, we introduce two very opposed views of the problem by incorporating different perspectives of the notion of advantage
(better opportunity set) and we provide some axioms that might be defended under such extreme positions. For any of these
two different perspectives, we characterize the families of rankings which satisfy the core axioms and the group of axioms
corresponding to that view. These characterizations will prove insightful to better understand most of the criteria already
introduced in the literature, which are part of the families we study. 相似文献

We examine properties of binary relations that complement quasi-transitivity and Suzumura consistency in the sense that they, in conjunction with the original axiom(s), are equivalent to transitivity. In general, the conjunction of quasi-transitivity and Suzumura consistency is weaker than transitivity but in the case of collective choice rules that satisfy further properties, this conjunction implies transitivity of the social relation. We prove this observation by characterizing the Pareto rule as the only collective choice rule such that collective preference relations are quasi-transitive and Suzumura consistent, and standard social choice axioms are satisfied. 相似文献

This paper introduces the “Extended Pareto” axiom on Social Welfare Functions and gives a characterization of the axiom when
it is assumed that the Social Welfare Functions that satisfy it in a framework of preferences over lotteries also satisfy
the restrictions (on the domain and range of preferences) implied by the von-Neumann Morgenstern axioms. With the addition
of 2 other axioms: “Anonymity” and a weak version of Arrow's Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives axiom: “Weak IIA” it
is shown that there is a unique Social Welfare Function called “Relative Utilitarianism” that consists of normalising individual
utilities between 0 and 1 and adding them.

I prove that ‘Disagreement Point Convexity’ and ‘Midpoint Domination’ characterize the Nash bargaining solution on the class
of two-player bargaining problems and on the class of smooth bargaining problems. I propose an example to show that these
two axioms do not characterize the Nash bargaining solution on the class of bargaining problems with more than two players.
I prove that the other solutions that satisfy these two properties are not lower hemi-continuous. These different results
refine the analysis of Chun (Econ Lett 34:311–316, 1990). I also highlight a rather unexpected link with the result of Dagan
et al. (Soc Choice Welfare 19:811–823, 2002). 相似文献

I investigate the role played by the combination of two invariance axioms for preferences in utility theory; namely, those of zero-independence and scale-independence, respectively. I provide a characterization of the preference relations on ${\mathbb{R}^{n}}$ that satisfy these two axioms as those which are either trivial, or what I call a two-serial total preorder on ${\mathbb{R}^{n}}$ . This result is then applied in social choice theory to characterize those social welfare functions that satisfy IIA and PI. Other characterizations involving the usual Pareto concepts are also provided. 相似文献

We characterize the Nash bargaining solution replacing the axiom of Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives with three independent
axioms: Independence of Non-Individually Rational Alternatives, Twisting, and Disagreement Point Convexity. We give a non-cooperative
bargaining interpretation to this last axiom.

We use a simple graphical approach to represent Social Welfare Functions that satisfy Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives
and Anonymity. This approach allows us to provide simple and illustrative proofs of May's Theorem, of variants of classic
impossibility results, and of a recent result on the robustness of Majority Rule due to Maskin (1995). In each case, geometry
provides new insights on the working and interplay of the axioms, and suggests new results including a new characterization
of the entire class of Majority Rule SWFs, a strengthening of May's Theorem, and a new version of Maskin's Theorem.

A quasi-linear social choice problem is concerned with choosing one among a finite set of public projects and determining side payments among agents to cover
the cost of the project, assuming each agent has quasi-linear preferences. We first investigate the logical relations between
various axioms in this context. They are: agreement, separability, population solidarity, consistency, converse consistency, and population-and-cost solidarity. Also, on the basis of these axioms, we present alternative characterizations of egalitarian solutions; each solution assigns
to each agent an equal share of the surplus derived from the public project over some reference utility level, but uses a
different method to compute the reference utility level.

In this work we analyse social welfare relations on sets of finite and infinite utility streams that satisfy various types of liberal non-interference principles. Earlier contributions have established that (finitely) anonymous and strongly Paretian quasiorderings exist that verify non-interference axioms together with weak preference continuity and further consistency. Nevertheless Mariotti and Veneziani (2011) prove that a fully liberal non-interfering view of a finite society leads to dictatorship if the weak Pareto principle is imposed. We first prove that this impossibility result vanishes when we extend the horizon to infinity. Then we investigate a related problem: namely, the possibility of combining “standard” semicontinuity with efficiency in the presence of non-interference. We provide several impossibility results that prove that there is a generalised incompatibility between relaxed forms of continuity and non-interference principles, both under ordinal and cardinal views of the problem. 相似文献

We completely characterize the class of fair and group strategy-proof mechanisms. We consider two notions of fairness, anonymity in welfare and no-envy. Both fairness axioms, when applied with strategy-proofness, imply decision efficiency, and lead to the same class of group strategy-proof mechanisms (where the group size is restricted to two). We find that the only feasible mechanism satisfying a mild zero transfer axiom, in this class, is the Pivotal mechanism. 相似文献

An axiomatic approach to sustainable development 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Graciela Chichilnisky 《Social Choice and Welfare》1996,13(2):231-257
The paper proposes two axioms that capture the idea of sustainable development and derives the welfare criterion that they imply. The axioms require that neither the present nor the future should play a dictatorial role.Theorem 1 shows there exist sustainable preferences, which satisfy these axioms. They exhibit sensitivity to the present and to the long-run future, and specify trade-offs between them. It examines other welfare criteria which are generally utilized: discounted utility, lim inf. long run averages, overtaking and catching-up criteria, Ramsey's criterion, Rawlsian rules, and the criterion of satisfaction of basic needs, and finds that none satisfies the axioms for sustainability.Theorem 2 gives a characterization of all continuous independent sustainable preferences. Theorem 3 shows that in general sustainable growth paths cannot be approximated by paths which approximate discounted optima. Proposition 1 shows that paths which maximize the present value under a standard price system may fail to reach optimal sustainable welfare levels, and Example 4 that the two criteria can give rise to different value systems.This paper was prepared for a presentation on Reconsideration of Values at the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Economics, organized by K.J. Arrow in July 1993. It was also presented at Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Seminar in Montreux, Switzerland, March 1994, at a Seminar on Inconmensurability and Values at Château du Baffy, Normandy, April 1994, and at the Graduate School of Business of Stanford University in May 1994. e mail gc@columbia.edu. 相似文献

Imagine a group that faces a decision problem but does not agree on which decision procedure is appropriate. In that case, can a decision be reached that respects the procedural concerns of the group? There is a sense in which legitimate decisions are possible even if people disagree on which procedure to use. I propose to decide in favour of an option which maximizes the number of persons whose judged-right procedure happens to entail this decision given the profile. This decision rule is based not only on a profile in the standard sense, but in addition on a profile of judged-right procedures. To justify this decision rule, I present a set of simple axioms leading to it as the only solution. 相似文献

We present a model of information aggregation in which agents’ information is represented through partitions over states of
the world. We discuss three axioms, meet separability, upper unanimity, and non-imposition, and show that these three axioms
characterize the class of oligarchic rules, which combine all of the information held by a pre-specified set of individuals. 相似文献

We analyze markets in which the price of a traded commodity is such that the supply and the demand are unequal. Under standard assumptions, the agents then have single peaked preferences on their consumption or production choices. For such markets, we propose a class of Uniform trade rules each of which determines the volume of trade as the median of total demand, total supply, and an exogenous constant. Then these rules allocate this volume “uniformly” on either side of the market. We evaluate these “trade rules” on the basis of some standard axioms in the literature. We show that they uniquely satisfy Pareto optimality, strategy proofness, no-envy, and an informational simplicity axiom that we introduce. We also analyze the implications of anonymity, renegotiation proofness, and voluntary trade on this domain. 相似文献

In this paper, we provide axiomatic foundations for social choice rules on a domain of convex and comprehensive social choice
problems when agents have cardinal utility functions. We translate the axioms of three well known approaches in bargaining
theory (Nash 1950; Kalai and Smorodinsky 1975; Kalai 1977) to the domain of social choice problems and provide an impossibility
result for each. We then introduce the concept of a reference function which, for each social choice set, selects a point from which relative gains are measured. By restricting the invariance
and comparison axioms so that they only apply to sets with the same reference point, we obtain characterizations of social
choice rules that are natural analogues of the bargaining theory solutions.
