What Is a Commody? Two Axiomatic Anwers

Author

  • SPRUMONT, Yves

Abstract

We identify conditions under which preferences over sets of consumption opportunities can be reduced to preferences over bundles of "commodities". We distinguish ordinal bundles, whose coordinates are defined up to monotone transformations, from cardinal bundles, whose coordinates are defined up to positive linear transformations only.
