Abstract Conservation decision-makers and practitioners increasingly strive for efficient equitable outcomes people nature. However, environmental management programs commonly benefit some groups of more than others, very little is known about how efforts to promote equality (i.e. even distributions) equity proportional trade-off against efficiency total net outcome per dollar spent). Based on ...

concerns regarding the trans-pacific partnership (tpp) have raised awareness about the negative public health impacts of trade and investment agreements. in the past decade, we have learned much about the implications of trade agreements for public health: reduced equity in access to health services; increased flows of unhealthy commodities; limits on access to medicines; and constrained policy...

This paper introduces a conceptual framework to investigate the equity consequences of resource allocation, strategic purchasing and payment system reforms (RAP) in health, and reviews the empirical literature that has analyzed the impact of these reforms on equity. In the first part, the paper reviews the existing evidence on the distribution of health and health care utilization across socio-...

A facility has to be located within a given region taking two criteria of equity and efficiency into account. Equity is sought by minimizing the inequality in the inhabitant-facility distances, as measured by the sum of the absolute differences between all pairs of squared Euclidean distances from inhabitants to the facility. This measure meets the Pigou-Dalton condition of transfers, and can e...

The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate how distortions that arise from taxation could affect consumers’ behaviour and working time, which might prevent Pareto’s maximisation process achieving objectives optimal trade-off between equity efficiency. A utility model built up first-order conditions are manipulated reach an equilibrium MRS MRT. validity then tested. In drawing a comparis...

In this paper, we present a novel modelling perspective to the food-bank donation allocation problem under equity and efficiency performance measures. Using penalty factor in objective function, our model explicitly accounts for both equity, simultaneously. We give tightest lower upper bounds of factor, which can conveniently characterize closed-form optimal solutions perfect cases. Testing on ...
