On a diversity ranking of choice profiles
Revealing preference discovery
Evaluating education systems
This paper proposes two dominance criteria for evaluating education systems described as joint distributions of the pupils’ cognitive skill achievements and family backgrounds. The first criterion is the smallest transitive ranking of education systems compatible with three elementary principles. The first principle requires the favorable recording of any improvement in the cognitive skill of a child with a given family background. The second pri…

Richard Bradley, Decision Theory with a Human Face
The very title of this book, borrowed from Richard Jeffrey’s “Bayesianism with a human face” (Jeffrey, 1983a) is a clear indication of its content. Just like its spiritual cousin The Foundations of Causal Decision Theory by James M. Joyce (2000), Decision Theory with a Human Face provides a thoughtful description of the current state of development of the Bolker-Jeffrey (BJ) approach to decision-making. While a full-fledged presentation of the BJ…
Robust normative comparisons of socially risky situations
The segregative properties of endogenous jurisdiction formation with a land market
Ethically robust comparisons of bidimensional distributions with an ordinal attribute
Bidimensional Inequalities with an Ordinal Variable
Comparing Societies with Different Numbers of Individuals on the Basis of Their Average Advantage
Freedom-Based Measurement of Living Standard
Utilitarianism or welfarism

Is India better off today than 15 years ago? A robust multidimensional answer
Robust International Comparisons of Distributions of Disposable Income and Regional Public Goods
The paper provides robust normative comparisons of 12 OECD countries based on their distributions of disposable income and access to two regional public goods: infant mortality and pupil–teacher ratios at public schools. Comparisons are performed using two and three‐dimensional dominance criteria that coincide with the unanimity of utilitarian judgments taken over specific classes of utility functions. The criteria succeed in ranking conclusively…
L’importance de la localisation dans la valorisation des quartiers marseillais
Cet article met en oeuvre une méthode d’identification empirique de la contribution agrégée des aménités d’une zone urbaine qui fait abstraction de ses caractéristiques de localisation.Une fonction hédonique est estimée sur un échantillon de 29 000 ventes de logements en habitat collectif réalisées à Marseille, entre 1995 et 2000. Les variables mesurant les caractéristiques de localisation (proximité du Vieux-Port et de la mer, accessibilité au r…
A robust normative evaluation of India's performance in allocating risks of death
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a robust normative evaluation of the recent evolution of Indians' exposures to health‐related risks. Design/methodology/approach The paper compares empirically the distributions of individuals' risks of death in India on the basis of new ethically robust criteria in 1995 and 2002. Probabilities of death are assigned individuals as an estimated probit function of several explanatory variables, includ…
Appraising diversity with an ordinal notion of similarity
Measuring the social value of local public goods
A non-linear hedonic model is used to estimate the implicit marginal prices of 17 local public goods in a Paris suburban area on an original data set of some 8200 housing units. The results reveal a robust effect of local public school quality (measured both by the fraction of junior high school students that are at least two years behind grade level and the student/teacher ratio) on house prices. It is observed that housing owners’ marginal will…
Does endogenous formation of jurisdictions lead to wealth-stratification
Freedom in Economics
This book presents a range of papers by philosophers and economists who consider the definition and value of liberty; freedom in rights and equality of opportunity. Until recently freedom has played no explicit role in the conceptual framework of economists, however freedom seems to be at the heart of economics. The book provides a substantial contribution to the fruitful dialogue between the philosophy and economics in this area. Each chapter is…
