Extremal and game-theoretic characterizations of the probabilistic approach to income redistribution (Q790701): Difference between revisions

In this paper, we cast the problem of income redistribution in two different ways, one as a nonlinear goal programming model and the other as a game theoretic model. These two approaches give characterizations for the probabilistic approach suggested by Intriligator for this problem. All three approaches reinforce the linear income redistribution plan as a desirable mechanism of income redistribution.
