Abstract: This article establishes a direct proof of the equivalence between two incomplete rankings of distributions of an ordinal attribute. The first ranking is the possibility of going from one distribution to another by a finite sequence of Hammond transfers. The second ranking is the intersection of two dominance criteria introduced by Gravel et al. (Economic Theory, 71 (2021), 33-80). The proof constructs an algorithm that provides a series of Hammond transfers, between any two distributions related by the intersection of the two dominances.
