| Abstract: | The authors investigate the consequences of imposing additivity on community preferences. They show that there are important implications of additive community preferences that are not implied by the additivity of a single consumer's preferences. In particular, the authors show that imposing additivity on community preferences implies the existence of a representative consumer with a utility function in the CES family. They demonstrate the restrictive nature of these implications with three examples. |
