On the efficiency of equal sacrifice income tax schedules ¬リニ
In an economy which primitives are exactly those in Mirrlees (1971), we investigate the efficiency of tax schedules derived under the equal sacrifice principle. For a given exogenous government consumption level we assess whether there is an alternative tax schedule that raises more revenue while delivering less utility to no one. For our preferred parametrizations, we find that inefficiency on...
متن کاملA note on "Measurement of disproportionality in proportional representation systems"
In this paper, we add three further indices to the survey on disproportionality by Karpov. Two of them are rooted in the issue of power, so we discuss the relevance of it in evaluating the disproportionality of a Parliament w.r.t. the voting body.
متن کاملA Note on Scheduling Equal-Length Jobs to Maximize Throughput
We study the problem of scheduling equal-length jobs with release times and deadlines, where the objective is to maximize the number of completed jobs. Preemptions are not allowed. In Graham’s notation, the problem is described as 1|rj ; pj = p| ∑ Uj. We give the following results: (1) We show that the often cited algorithm by Carlier from 1981 is not correct. (2) We give an algorithm for this ...
متن کاملEqual Sacrifice and Fair Burden-Sharing in a Public Goods Economy
Applying a willingness to pay approach known from contingent valuation in environmental economics, we develop an ordinally based measure for the size of individual sacrifice that is connected with an agent's contribution to a public good. We construct a selection mechanism that picks the unique efficient solution among all allocations that have an equal sacrifice as defined in this way. We show...
متن کاملSustainability, exemption, and the constrained equal awards rule: a note
We consider the problem of distributing the liquidation value of a bankrupt firm among its creditors. Herrero and Villar [TOP 10 (2002) 261; Mathematical Social Sciences 42 (2001) 307] show that (i) the constrained equal awards rule is the only rule satisfying sustainability and composition down, and that (ii) it is the only rule satisfying exemption, composition down, and bilateral consistency...
