Jean-Marc Bonnisseau et al., « A note on the characterization of optimal allocations in OLG models with multiple goods », HAL-SHS : économie et finance, ID : 10670/1.5users
We consider a pure exchange overlapping generations economy with a varying number of commodities and consumers per period having possibly non-complete non transitive preferences. We provide a geometric and direct proof of the Balasko-Shell characterization of Pareto optimal allocation. As a by-product, we compute an explicit Pareto improving transfer when the criterion is not satisfied, which is minimal for some suitable distance.
