Proportional redistribution

Abstract: The ethic of proportional redistribution is a compromise between the extremely compensatory ethic of full redistribution and the needs-blind ethic of laissez-faire. In a basic model of redistribution problems with needs, we characterize proportional redistribution with a combination of axioms that formalize minimal requirements of accountability, functionality, and impartiality. Consequently, we provide a new ethical rationalization for the ancient Aristotelian maxim of proportionality.
