Pareto

Yet immigrants and their leaders refuse to even consider a Coasian pareto improving deal where they would give some of the benefits to the Americans, for example by paying in order to enter. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Conservatives have decided, in the face of the largest market failure in decades, to double down on the idea that an unconstrained free market is always and everywhere pareto efficient, which is to say, no government regulation can make everyone better off. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Meanwhile, everyone who is not a current elected official of the Republican Party or a New Classical Economist more or less believes that in practice, markets are constrained pareto inefficient, such that Government intervention can and should make everyone better off. ❋ Unknown (2009)

To sum up, pareto improvements are only difficult because Republicans are allowed anywhere near policymaking. ❋ Unknown (2009)

His decision I suppose was pareto optimal for his side: he basically knew the Second Amendment would be incorporated, and if he could get Slaughterhouse overruled, all the better. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Therefore, when discussing the merits of offloading the business from the government's balance sheets as a going concern, one must consider both sides of the balance sheet -- if the government achieves poor marginal utility from the assets with regard to their pareto efficiency, then the government's costs are also likely to be larger than those which would be imposed upon a more efficient manager of those assets. ❋ Michael Cucek (2010)

In a similar vein, it seems like there is a privatized transaction that utilizes the C4C program that could result in a pareto improvement. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Is it really possible that someone is so pareto challenged that in a bid to make the world a cleaner place, they focus on … excercise balls? ❋ Unknown (2009)

You are not considering the systematic effects of the decision, say if the above decision signals to rich people that they can drink and drive and buy their way out it, then this would not lead to "pareto optimal" outcomes for those innocent pedestrians who would be hit even though it may increase the surplus of his relatives. ❋ Unknown (2009)

That is how you achieve a pareto improvement for all involved. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Dworkin's (1981,1994, 2000) effort to spell out the implications of treating people with equal respect, and Gibbard's (1982) appeal to an ex ante pareto optimality principle combined with an assumed right to a decent basic minimum of income. ❋ Daniels, Norman (2008)

But in the commons game the only pareto optimal outcomes are those of minimally effective cooperation. ❋ Kuhn, Steven (2007)

If the game specifies absolute (as opposed to relative) payoffs, then universal cooperation may not be a pareto optimal outcome even in the two person PD. ❋ Kuhn, Steven (2007)

For this reason, egalitarians claim that it may be necessary to reduce pareto-optimality for the sake of justice if there is no more egalitarian distribution that is also pareto-optimal. ❋ Gosepath, Stefan (2007)

A social condition is pareto-optimal or pareto-efficient when it is not possible to shift to another condition judged better by at least one person and worse by none (Sen 1970, chap. 2, 2*). ❋ Gosepath, Stefan (2007)

I ask because questions concerning pareto efficiency and the point at which supply meets demand, often, um, arise when discussing this particular supply/demand curve. ❋ Ann Althouse (2005)

Later, I began to think of the problem of taxation as an information problem - limited information imposed restrictions on the set of taxes that could be imposed; and asked what were the set of pareto efficient tax structures, that is, given the limitations on information, what were the set of tax structures such that no one could be made better off without making anyone worse off. ❋ Unknown (2002)

Arrow has generalized the well-known theorem about pareto-optimality of a competitive equilibrium, and he has demonstrated that there exist general tendencies towards inoptimality in the allocation of resources between research and investments in real capital. ❋ Unknown (1972)

It's like 2 guys chasing 2 girls (a blonde and a brounette). Guy 1 only likes blondes. Guy 2 only likes brounettes. Outcomes: Guy 1 gets both girls. Guy 2 [no girl]. Guy 2 gets both girls. Guy 1 no girl. OR, [PARETO] EFFICENT OUTCOME: Guy 1 gets the blonde, and Guy 2 gets the brounette. Each is made [better off] without making the other guy worse off. ❋ C.Brown (2008)

So, like, [20 percent] of respondents say that— That's bullshit, you pulled that number out of your ass. Pareto-20, man. You're right, it's... ([checks] notes) closer to 18 [percent], but that's not much of a difference, is it? ❋ Tariqk (2022)

Working together, Kevin and I talked these [two girls] who should have been out of our league into joining us for an [Eiffel Tower] - it was so [pareto optimal]. ❋ Ryanatcollege (2005)

You were in the bathroom for [an hour]; by [the laws] of Pareto’s Poop you really needed only 12 [minutes]. ❋ Alghazali320 (2019)

Liberal elitist humanitarian: Let's [pass legislation] to make a more equal, fairer society. Conservative realist: That will get us no where except you [leftists] will be in power rather than us. There is the brutal fact of Pareto's Iron Law. We cannot escape inequality of result. Liberal elitist humanitarian: Well, I know, but at least we will be ahead of you conservatives. [We hate you] because you do not love everyone as we leftists do. ❋ Tex In Tex (2008)

YOU: This yard is full of [weeds]. It'll take us two days to clear them out. ME: Let's just do the Pareto part surrounding the walkway: that should only take [4 hours] and [48] minutes. ❋ Billbrown (2023)

Person A: How come [Hillary Clinton] didn't win the 2008 primaries? Person B: Well...life in many ways is Pareto optimal. Besides I heard from someone that her campaign [slogan] was, "[Anarchy] is my policy for men." ❋ Paisleynotes (2009)
