The Distribution View provides a model that integrates four 6 distributional concerns in the evaluation of risky prospects. Starting from 7 these concerns, we can generate an ordering over a set of risky prospects, 8 or, starting from an ordering, we can extract a characterization of the 9 underlying distributional concerns. Separability of States and/or Persons 10 for multiple-person risky pro...
