The priority view (Part 1997) demands that beneting people should matter more the worse o these people are in absolute terms of their well-being. In the model of allocating resources based on individual capabilities (output functions), this view is well represented by disability monotonicity that requires no reduction in the amount of resources allocated to an agent after she becomes more disabled. We provide alternative axiomatic characterizations of the extended egalitarian rules (Moreno-Ternero and Roemer 2006) on the basis of disability monotonicity and agreement (when there is a change in agents' capabilities or total resources, all agents who remain unchanged should be inuenced in the same direction: all unchanged agents get more or all get less or all get the same amount as before).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
