This paper investigates fair (i.e., envy free and efficient) allocations in an overlapping generations economy without production and with two - period lived agents. We show that there exists a conflict between no-envy and efficiency when all generations have identical preferences. This conflict...

We present a variant of a general equilibrium model with group formation to study how changes of non-consumptive benefits from group formation impact on the well-being of group members. We identify a human relations paradox: Positive externalities increase, but none of the group members gains in...
