Fairness state with plastic preferences — •Elena Ramirez Barrios1 and Juan Guillermo Diaz Ochoa2 — 1eramirez@economics.uni-kiel.de — 2diazochoa@itp.uni-bremen.de
The definition of preferences is a concept that concerns decision making in social systems (for instance in vote systems) and economics. We are interested in the phenomena of efficient choice and economic fairness. In Arrow’s theorem this situation is expressed as an impossibility of aggregate preferences among agents without running into unfairness. This situation was also analyzed in a previous model in a network of agents with a random allocation. Both researchs are based on static preferences.
In a real society the individuals are confronted to exchanges of information that can modify the way they think. In particular, the preferences of each person are influenced by this exchange. This consideration is not enough realistic and is not able to make an accurate analysis of the fairness state when the preferences are changing. The aim of this research is to consider the coupling of two systems: the first one consider the formation of preferences and a second stage, where an allocation of goods is done.
