Non-redistributive Second Welfare Theorems
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The second welfare theorem tells us that social welfare in an economy can be maximized at an equilibrium given a suitable redistribution of the endowments. ...
We examine welfare maximization without redistribution. Specifically, we examine whether the clustering of traders into k submarkets can improve welfare in a linear exchange economy. ...
As stated, however, the second theorem is of limited practical value due to the infeasibility of direct transfer payments. Thus, our goal is to obtain non-redistributive second welfare theorems. ...

Theorem I. If (q*,u*) is a solution to (P), then (q*,u*) is a solution to (D), for W = W(u*). At this solution, R[e(q*, u*)] = F. Theorem 2. ...

The trade-off between welfare and equality in a public good experiment
2015
Social Choice and Welfare
We study the impact of redistribution on group contribution, on individuals' contributions according to their endowment and on welfare. ...
We report the results of an experiment on voluntary contributions to a public good in which we implement a redistribution of the group endowment among group members in a lump sum manner. ...
In essence this is the message of the famous Second Welfare Theorem. However, the set of conditions under which this theorem is valid is restrictive. ...

What seems most relevant in comparing non-optimal situations is the case where no redistributions are permitted, for the reason we do not move to Pareto optima is that our powers of redistribution are ...
(Note that the comparison between A and A’ in the first theorem and between B and B’ in the second is a comparison of different distributions with the same national
income, in a sense.) ...
In praise of inequality: public good provision and income distribution
1997
Economics Letters
It may seem that there is then no role for redistributive policy, but it is proved that social welfare can be raised by creating sufficient income inequality that only the rich provide public goods. © ...
These facts are stated as theorem 2.Theorem 2. ...
It is already known that while both consumers are contributing a redistribution of income does not affect welfare. ...

Regular Distributive Efficiency and the Distributive Liberal Social Contract
2010
Journal of Public Economic Theory
The second fundamental theorem of welfare economics then applies to distributive Pareto optima, that is, distributive optima are Walrasian equilibria relative to suitable vectors of market prices and individual ...
It follows from the first and second regularity conditions of Definition 10 (see ...
Under Assumption 1-(i), market price equilibrium is equivalent to market optimum, as a consequence of the first and second theorems of welfare economics. ...

Public goods provision and redistributive taxation
2009
Journal of Public Economics
However, the positive impact of taxation on charitable giving and welfare may disappear if individuals generate their income levels in anticipation of taxation and redistribution does not take into account ...
This paper studies the relationship between redistributive taxation and tax-deductible charitable contributions. Redistribution has two opposite effects on voluntary giving. ...
Total welfare in the society, however, is highest in the second case. ...

Second-best schedules strongly reduce the variances of benefits and of retirement ages of the so-called actuarially fair system, thus achieving higher social welfare and lower redistribution. ...

Studies in Choice and Welfare
We consider abstract social systems of private property, made of n individuals endowed with non-paternalistic interdependent preferences, who interact through exchanges on competitive markets and Pareto-efficient ...
In-kind and monetary transfers are essentially equivalent, for social contract redistribution. ...

Welfare Undominated Groves Mechanisms
[chapter]
2008
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In particular, we say a non-deficit Groves mechanism is welfare undominated if there exists no other non-deficit Groves mechanism that always has a smaller or equal sum of payments. ...
redistribution mechanisms, which were introduced in [6] and include the Bailey-Cavallo mechanism [1,2], coincides with the family of welfare undominated Groves mechanisms that are anonymous and linear ...
By Theorem 4, the BC mechanism in the proof of the above theorem is not pay-only. ...
