Abstract

In this paper, we provide a characterization of the set of admissible transformations of utility profiles, if it is assumed that the individual utilities are ordinally measurable and interpersonally comparable. Whereas earlier contributions (implicitly) assume that all individual utility functions have the same image, our result applies to arbitrary utility profiles. Furthermore, we discuss an example that demonstrates the sensitivity of some results in this area with respect to the assumptions that are made concerning the images of the individual utility functions.
