Review text

Characterizations of the orderings induced on a set of alternatives by often-used Bergson Social Welfare Functions are provided. The characterizations are particularly useful in applied welfare analysis, because they are formulated entirely in terms of orderings of alternatives, rather than orderings of utilities, as is typically done.
