Primes¶
- Proportionality
- Balancing also depends on how harms are counted, as Adler and Posner (2000) demonstrate in their analysis of cost-benefit aggregation: the choice between summing individual welfare effects and protecting the worst-off individual yields radically different policy verdicts.
This sourceAnalyzes welfare-aggregation choices in cost-benefit analysis: utilitarian summation vs. distributional weighting yield divergent verdicts on the same intervention.
- Administrative agencies invoke proportionality through cost-benefit analysis (CBA), the regulatory-implementation framework Adler and Posner (2000) develop to convert proportionality assessment into welfare-equivalent monetary terms while flagging its distortions.
This sourceDevelops the regulatory-implementation framework that converts proportionality into welfare-equivalent monetary terms while documenting distortions from preference biases, monetization gaps, and distributional asymmetries.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
