Abstract

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 in- dividual 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 egal- itarian rules (Moreno-Ternero and Roemer 2006) on the basis of dis- ability 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).
