摘要:
In this paper I investigate Harsanyi's utilitarianism aggregation theorems for general societies. It is proved that the social utility function is a linear (and non-negative) aggregation of individual utility functions if and only if the Pareto indifference (or the Pareto) condition holds, and that the linear aggregation has an integral representation under some regular conditions.
