Extremal and Game-Theoretic Characterizations of the Probabilistic Approach to Income Redistribution.

Abstract

In this paper we cast the problem of income redistribution in two different ways, one as a non-linear goal programming model, and the other as a game theoretic model. These two approaches give characterizations for the probabilistic approach suggested by Intriligator for this problem. All three approaches reinforce the linear income redistribution plan as a desirable mechanism of income redistribution. (Author)
