Abstract: We explore the implications of three basic and intuitive axioms for income redistribution problems: equal treatment of equals, additivity and stability. We show that the combination of the three axioms characterizes two focal and polar rules: laissez-faire and full redistribution.

Keywords: redistribution problems; laissez-faire; full redistribution; equal treatment of equals; additivity; stability. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
