A complete and strongly anonymous leximin relation on infinite streams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various extensions of the leximin order to the infinite dimensional setting have been suggested. They relax completeness and strong anonymity. Instead, by removing sensitivity to generations at infinite rank this paper defines a complete and strongly anonymous leximin relation on infinite streams. The order is axiomatized, and it is shown to be the limit of extended rank-discounted utilitarianism for any utility function, as the discount factor approaches zero. JEL-Code: D630, D710.

Ordering infinite utility streams
We reconsider the problem of ordering infinite utility streams. As has been established in earlier contributions, if no representability condition is imposed, there exist strongly Paretian and finitely anonymous orderings of intertemporal utility streams.We examine the possibility of adding suitably formulated versions of classical equity conditions. First, we provide a characterization of all ...
متن کاملQ-anonymous social welfare relations on infinite utility streams
This paper studies a class of social welfare relations (SWRs) on the set of infinite utility streams. In particular, we examine the SWRs satisfying Q-Anonymity, an impartiality axiom stronger than Finite Anonymity, as well as Strong Pareto and a certain equity axiom. First, we characterize the extension of the generalized Lorenz SWR by combining Q-Anonymity with Strong Pareto and Pigou-Dalton E...
متن کاملOn the leximin and utilitarian overtaking criteria with extended anonymity
This paper studies the extensions of the infinte-horizon variants of the leximin principle and utilitarianism on the set of infinite utility streams. We especially examine those extensions which satisfy the axiom of Preference-continuity (or Consistency) and the extended anonymity axiom called Q-Anonymity. We formulate new extended leximin and utilitarian social welfare relations (SWRs), called...
متن کاملAn investigation on regular relations of universal hyperalgebras
In this paper, by considering the notion of $Sigma$-hyperalgebras for an arbitrary signature $Sigma$, we study the notions of regular and strongly regular relations on a $Sigma$-hyperalgebra, $mathfrak{A}$. We show that each regular relation which contains a strongly regular relation is a strongly regular relation. Then we concentrate on the connection between the fundamental relation of $mathf...
متن کاملPareto Principle and Intergenerational Equity : Immedi - ate
In an important contribution to the problem of aggregating infinite utility streams, Svensson (1980) shows the existence of a social welfare relation—a reflexive, transitive and complete binary relation over all possible infinite utility streams—that accommodates the axioms of Pareto and intergenerational equity. This possibility result is in sharp contrast with the seminal contribution by Diam...
