Non-Symmetric Cardinal Value Allocations
证明基数价值分配可能不对称:偏好和禀赋相同的个体可能被差别对待,这质疑了权重作为内生效用比较的解释。
It is shown that cardinal value allocations may fail to be symmetric. Specifically, agents with identical preferences and identical endowments can be treated very differently at a cardinal value allocation. This casts further doubt on the interpretation of the weights as endogenous utility comparisons.
