Dear all,
Our paper 'Balancing Acts' has now appeared in the Journal of Mathematical Economics 126 (2006) 103273, doi link
As compared to the initial version, posted on March 18 2025, the part on 'partial acts' has been completely rewritten. We now first introduce the notion of `anchored preferences' (Section 5), after which the result on partial acts (Theorem 3) follows more naturally. Also the part on 'ratio monotonicity' (Section 4) has been thoroughly revised.
Best,
Berend
