Abstract

In this conversation, William Thomson discusses the role of the axiomatic method in economic design. He comments on the role Nash’s bargaining theory played in the development of his interest in the axiomatic method. He contrasts the abstract theory of Arrovian social choice with the axiomatic study of concrete models of resource allocation. He discusses how the study of how to adjudicate conflicting claims can serve as an introduction to the field of economic design.
