    Notes: Summary. In empirical studies concerning comparison of economic structures and/or structural changes of economies, it is quite useful to employ an aggregate index to describe the structural difference (similarity). This paper offers an axiomatic characterization of the measurement of structural difference between economies that leads to some difference (similarity) index which is practically useful in empirical studies.

    Notes: We develop a simple model of direct foreign investment where the host country government cannot credibly signal its honest intention such as to stick to the contracted tax rate. The foreign firm has some prior belief regarding the ex post discretionary policies of the local government. Since the investment is completely irreversible, such a belief pattern might not induce the firm to invest in a country which badly needs it. It is shown that the host government can design a subsidy scheme which might attract foreign investment by removing the credibility problem.

    Notes: Abstract.  The ‘diamond effect’ exists when a consumer's utility depends on the exchange value, not just on the intrinsic consumption effects of the good. Yew-Kwang Ng has discussed the optimal tax on a pure ‘diamond’ good. This paper extends Ng's model to cover mixed diamond goods. It uses three mathematical models to show that the optimal tax on a mixed diamond good with both intrinsic and diamond effects depends on the proportion of the diamond effect. The result may explain the violation of the Ramsey Rule in practice, and may be used to formulate private car taxes in China.

    Notes: Qalys (quality-adjusted life years) are used to make judgements about resource allocation in medical care and other matters. Since this may involve the qalys of prospective individuals (who are not yet born but may be born under some relevant alternative and not in another), the use of qalys involves a fundamental philosophical problem related to optimal population, believed to be "insoluble". This paper provides a solution to this problem that is based on the classical utilitarian position modified to account for the partiality of existing people towards their own welfare. However, a different difficulty with qalys is raised since the use of qalys may be Pareto inefficient in comparison to using willingness to pay. The objection to willingness to pay based on inequality is responded to.

    Notes: Freedom (in the choice of jobs or the place of residency) and fairness (horizontal equity) may be inconsistent with the attainment of (vertical) equity (interpersonal equalization of marginal welfare of income) and/or efficiency, even abstracting from familiar factors (incentive effects, administrative costs) accounting for the equity-efficiency trade-off. The imposition of congestion taxes on urban residency or the offer of high salaries to attract volunteer soldiers may achieve an efficient division of the population consistent with freedom and fairness but is unlikely to coincide with the equalization of the marginal welfare of income. This conflict may partly explain the urban-rural segregation in China and the prevalence of conscription.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉ZUSAMMENFASSUNGFreiheit (wie zum Beispiel in der Wahl des Berufes oder Wohnsitzes) und Fairness (horizontale Gerechtigkeit) können unvereinbar sein mit dem Ziel der (vertikalen) Gerechtigkeit und/oder der Effizienz, selbst wenn man von den bekannten Faktoren (wie Ansporneffekten oder Administrationskosten) abstrahiert, die für den Trade-off zwischen Gerechtigkeit und Effizienz verantwortlich sind. Freiheit und Fairness erfordern Indifferenz zwischen den Alternativen (Gleichheit des Gesamfnutzens), während (vertikale) Gerechtigkeit zwischenpersönliche Gleichsetzung des Grenznut-zens der Einkommen voraussetzt. Die Aufbürdung von Ballungssteuern auf städtische Wohnsitze oder eine Solderhöhung als Ansporn für freiwilligen Militärdienst können eine effiziente Aufteilung der Bevölkerung im Einklang mit den Zielen der Freiheit und Fairness erreichen, aber sie werden kaum die Gleichsetzung der Grenz-nutzen der Einkommen erreichen. Dieser Konflikt mag einen Beitrag leisten zu der Erkläarung der Segregation in China zwischen Stadt und Land und dem weitverbrei-teten Phänomen der Wehrpflicht. Der vorliegende Beitrag bietet einen Beweis und eine schematische Illustration des Problems und eine allgemeine Diskussion des Konflikts.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉RÉSUMÉLa liberté (comme dans le choix ďune situation professionnelle ou ďun lieu de résidence) et ľimpartialité (équité horizontale) peuvent ětre incompatibles avec la réalisation de ľéquité (verticale) et/ou de ľefficacité, měme en faisant abstraction des facteurs familiers (effets ďincitation, coǔts administratifs) qui interviennent dans le compromis équité-efficacité. Liberté et impartialité requièrent une indifférence individuelle (égalité des utilityés totales) entre les deux possibilityés, tandis que 1'equite (verticale) requiert une egalisation interindividuelle du bien-etre marginal du revenu. Asseoir un impot ďencombrement sur les residences urbaines ou offrir des salaires eleves pour attirer des soldats volontaires peuvent permettre ďobtenir une repartition efficace de la population compatible avec la liberte et ľimpartialite, mais ont peu de chances de coi'ncider avec legalisation du bien-etre marginal du revenu. Ce conflit peut expliquer en partie la segregation ville-campagne en Chine et le maintien de la conscription. Le present article verifie la théorie de ce conflit, illustre ce problème graphiquement, et pose le débat en termes généraux.
