Pareto Efficiency

What is Pareto Efficiency

Pareto efficiency or Pareto optimality is a situation where no action or allocation is available that makes one individual better off without making another worse off. The concept is named after Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923), Italian civil engineer and economist, who used the concept in his studies of economic efficiency and income distribution. The following three concepts are closely related:Given an initial situation, a Pareto improvement is a new situation where some agents will gain, and no agents will lose.A situation is called Pareto-dominated if there exists a possible Pareto improvement.A situation is called Pareto-optimal or Pareto-efficient if no change could lead to improved satisfaction for some agent without some other agent losing or, equivalently, if there is no scope for further Pareto improvement.
