Prioritarian Poverty Comparisons with Cardinal and Ordinal Attributes
研究了在包含基数与序数属性的多维贫困比较中如何操作化优先主义伦理观,提出了三条公理,每条公理结合标准性质可刻画一类贫困测度。
Abstract The ethical view of prioritarianism holds that if an extra bundle of attributes is to be allocated to either of two individuals, then priority should be given to the worse off among the two. We consider multidimensional poverty comparisons with cardinal and ordinal attributes and propose three axioms that operationalize the prioritarian view. Each priority axiom, in combination with a handful of standard properties, characterizes a class of poverty measures.
