Del Boca, Daniela; Flinn, Christopher J. - 2009

Most econometric models of intrahousehold behavior assume that household decision-making is efficient, i.e., utility realizations lie on the Pareto frontier. In this paper we investigate this claim by adding a number of participation constraints to the household allocation problem. Short-run...

Linking of Repeated Games. When Does It Lead to More Cooperation and Pareto Improvements?

von Mouche, Pierre; Folmer, Henk - 2007

Linking of repeated games and exchange of concessions in fields of relative strength may lead to more cooperation and to Pareto improvements relative to the situation where each game is played separately. In this paper we formalize these statements, provide some general results concerning the...

Testing the Pareto efficiency of household resource allocations

Apps, Patricia; Rees, Ray - 2008

In a careful and thorough empirical study, Christopher Udry (1996) shows convincingly that, in a large sample of West African households, household resource allocations were not Pareto efficient. This paper argues that observation of the Pareto inefficiency of a household resource allocation...

An Afriat theorem for the collective model of household consumption

Cherchye, Laurens; De Rock, Bram; Vermeulen, Frederic - 2008

We provide a nonparametric 'revealed preference' characterization of rational household behavior in terms of the collective consumption model, while accounting for general (possibly non-convex) individual preferences. We establish a Collective Axiom of Revealed Preference (CARP), which provides...

Regulation of morally responsible agents with motivation crowding

Fünfgelt, Joachim; Baumgärtner, Stefan - 2012

We study the regulation of a morally responsible agent in the context of a negative consumption externality and motivation crowding. In particular, we analyze how various governmental interventions affect the agent's motivation to assume moral responsibility. Employing a motivation-crowding...

Auctions under Payoff Uncertainty: The Case with Heterogeneous Bidder-Aversion to Downside Risk

Hu, Audrey; Zou, Liang - 2008

This paper characterizes the optimal first-price auction (FPA) and second-price auction (SPA) for selling rights, contracts, or licenses that involve ensuing payoff uncertainty for the winning bidder. The distribution of the random payoff is common knowledge, except that bidders have private...

A utilitarian notion of responsibility for sustainability

Fünfgelt, Joachim; Baumgärtner, Stefan - 2012

We develop and formalize a utilitarian notion of responsibility for sustainability which is inspired by Singer's (1972) principle and the Brundtland Commission's notion ofsustainability (WCED 1987). We relate this notion of responsibility to established criteria forthe assessment of...
