Description
Summary:This book contains a selection of papers which were presented at a conference on "Distributive Justice and Inequality" at the Institute for Advanced Study Berlin. Topics covered range from concepts of equity, optimal population policies and axiomatic characterizations of inequality measures and poverty orderings to distributional implications of taxation rules and game-theoretical analyses. This collection of papers is unique in that the issue of distributive justice is looked at from very different angles. The reader will find philosophical discussions on equity or optimal population size longside mathematical analyses of taxation schemes. Most of the papers contain new, hitherto unpublished results.
Item Description:Conference held at the Institute for Advanced Study Berlin, 5/20-24/1986.
