On the Efficiency-Fairness Trade-off
T paper deals with a basic issue: How does one approach the problem of designing the “right” objective for a given resource allocation problem? The notion of what is right can be fairly nebulous; we consider two issues that we see as key: efficiency and fairness. We approach the problem of designing objectives that account for the natural tension between efficiency and fairness in the context o...
متن کاملThe Equity/Efficiency Trade-off in Retrospect
Writing in 1975, Arthur Okun is generally credited with popularizing the idea of a “great tradeoff" between equity and efficiency. Indeed, a generation of economists has been brought up thinking that in the allocation of scarce resources to competing ends, the tradeoff between “equity” and “efficiency” is just another one of the many tough choices that economically rational individuals have to ...
متن کاملIntroducing Fairness-Efficiency Trade-off for Energy Savings in Wireless Cooperative Networks
The focus of this paper is on a wireless cooperative network architecture, where a group of users exploits short-range wireless links to share the costs of a cellular download. To maximize the efficiency of the communication system, an optimization of parameters such as download time, monetary cost, and energy consumption can be implemented. Following this approach different portions of data sh...
متن کاملTrade-off between fairness and stability in layered video multicast
Layered multicast is a promising technique for distributing video to a set of heterogeneous receivers. While several layered multicast approaches have been proposed, prior work usually perform adaptation on the receiver’s side and use static rate allocation techniques at the sender’s side. In this paper, we show an adaptation framework that improves stability and fairness of receivers by employ...
متن کاملChoice-Consistent Resolutions of the Efficiency-Equity Trade-Off
In a standard framework of choice theory, we formulate two contrasting principles for social choice under the efficiency-equity trade-off. The equity-first principle states that we should select from equitable allocations if any, but if the equity criterion is not at all effective for selection either because all the available allocations are equitable or because no allocation is equitable, we ...
