axiom of monotonicity and axiom of transfers  

Définition(s)

  • IN WELFARE ECONOMICS, the axiom of monotonicity and the axiom of transfers are simplifying assumptions used to assess the effect of different income distributions on the general well-being (the social welfare) of a society. Although they are not true axioms in the logical sense of being self-evident and undeniable propositions (for example, A=A), the axioms of monotonicity and transfers represent common sense, plausible generalizations about human nature and human society.
