Differentially monotonic redistribution of income
- We suggest a differential version of monotonicity for redistribution rules: whenever the differential of two persons' income weakly increases, then the differential of their post-redistribution rewards does not decrease. Together with efficiency and non-negativity, differential monotonicity characterizes redistribution via taxation at a fixed rate and equal distribution of the total tax revenue.
