Abstract: Multidimensional Welfarisms (Karl Mosler) |
|
|

|
| The problem of comparing social states with respect to several attributes is investigated in a purely ordinal framework. Axioms are given for an additive (in individual welfare levels) representation of the social welfare function. Then a general class of social welfare orderings is introduced which can be characterized by comparing the numbers of individuals (headcounts) in "critical sets" of individual states. A new approach to multivariate welfare orderings is proposed: Starting with one or a few critical sets, the headcounts in these sets are compared.
