Topic: Social planner


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  Social planner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In welfare economics, a social planner is a decision-maker who attempts to achieve the best result for all parties involved.
In neo-classical welfare economics, this means the maximization of a social welfare function.
In practice, the social planner role is generally played by a government.

 Sample Chapter for Drazen, A.: Political Economy in Macroeconomics.
Though it is generally agreed that economic efficiency and social welfare will be substantially higher once a market system of allocation is in place, the transition has been slow, far slower than observers expected at the outset on the basis of the technical constraints.
In an economy composed of a number of identical individuals, the choice problem of a social planner maximizing the utility of a representative individual would be identical, and the same techniques may be used to solve for the consumption sequence that maximizes social welfare.
Alternatively, one may think of a "decentralized" problem, in which the planner does not choose quantities directly; instead, the optimal allocation is achieved via a price system, in which individuals choose their desired levels of consumption and saving on the basis of market prices.

 The Koopmans Axiomatization of Intertemporal Choice
Similarly, Koopmans argued that the social planner has preferences over infinite consumption paths and then searched for the axioms that would make such preferences representable by a Samuelson intertemporal utility function with discounting.
There is non-complementarity between periods in the sense that the social planner's preference over what generation t achieves is independent of his preferences over what generation t+1 achieves.
A positive time preference rate on the social planner's utility has been deduced (with the assistance of additive separability) from the simple observation of the property of "time perspective", i.e.

Our analysis implicitly assumes that each EU median voter or each EU social planner takes the composition of the fiscal federation as given, leaving aside the issue of how many and which countries take part in the optimal EU fiscal federation.
In contrast, were the decision taken by the social planner, the choice in favour of centralisation (decentralisation) would be derived from the maximisation of a social welfare function.
The results show that, for the large majority of EU member-states, when one of the two decision-makers prefers centralisation (decentralisation), the other has the opposite preference; moreover, the chosen government level is in most cases the same for interpersonal redistribution and inter-jurisdictional redistribution: what is good for the individual is also good for the nation.

The key players of the model are social planner (CERT, who determines when to disclose the vulnerability), vendors (who determine when to patch in response to social planner’s decision), attackers (who discover and exploit vulnerabilities) and software users (who are the main victims of security attacks.)
