Reward and responsibility: How should we be affected when others change their effort?
Politics, Philosophy and Economics 2 (2):191-211 (2003)
| Abstract | University of Oslo and Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Norway We look at how one should reward effort without rewarding talent. One way to approach this issue is to ask how an increase in one individual's effort should be allowed to affect the post-tax income of others. The article provides characterizations of three main classes of redistribution mechanism on the basis of how these answer this question. Key Words: reward • effort • responsibility • equal opportunity • distributive justice. | |||||||||
