  2. Economic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_efficiency

    Allocative or Pareto efficiency: any changes made to assist one person would harm another. Productive efficiency: no additional output of one good can be obtained without decreasing the output of another good, and production proceeds at the lowest possible average total cost.

  3. Pareto efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_efficiency

    Constrained Pareto efficiency is a weakening of Pareto optimality, accounting for the fact that a potential planner (e.g., the government) may not be able to improve upon a decentralized market outcome, even if that outcome is inefficient. This will occur if it is limited by the same informational or institutional constraints as are individual ...

  4. Efficient approximately fair item allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient_approximately...

    Efficiency notions: Pareto-efficiency, graph Pareto-efficiency (where Pareto-domination considers only exchanges between neighbors on a fixed graph), and group-Pareto-efficiency. An allocation X as k-group-Pareto-efficient (GPE k ) if there is no other allocation Y that is at least as good (by arithmetic mean of utilities) for all groups of ...

  5. Allocative efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allocative_efficiency

    Allocative efficiency is a state of the economy in which production is aligned with the preferences of consumers and producers; in particular, the set of outputs is chosen so as to maximize the social welfare of society. [1] This is achieved if every produced good or service has a marginal benefit equal to the marginal cost of production.

  6. Contract curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_curve

    In the case of two goods and two individuals, the contract curve can be found as follows. Here refers to the final amount of good 2 allocated to person 1, etc., and refer to the final levels of utility experienced by person 1 and person 2 respectively, refers to the level of utility that person 2 would receive from the initial allocation without trading at all, and and refer to the fixed total ...

  7. Production–possibility frontier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production–possibility...

    Pareto efficiency is achieved when the marginal rate of transformation (slope of the frontier/opportunity cost of goods) is equal to all consumers' marginal rate of substitution. Similarly, not all Pareto efficient points on the frontier are Allocative efficient. Allocative efficient is only achieved when the economy produces at quantities that ...
