代理人的生活水平被视为她实现各种功能的能力（Sen，1985，1987）。因此，代理的特征在于她的能力集，该能力集由不同的功能向量组成。因此，正式衡量代理人生活水平的任务是对不同的能力集进行排名。本文探讨了根据向代理人提供的生活水平对能力集进行排序的问题。为此，我们考虑维度真实空间的非简并、紧凑、全面和凸子集的能力集，提出几个直观上合理的排序属性，并给出一些排序规则的表征。
The standard of living of an agent is viewed as her capability of achieving various functionings (Sen, 1985, 1987). The agent is thus characterized by her capability set that consists of different functioning vectors. The task of measuring the standard of living of the agent formally is therefore to rank different capability sets. This paper explores the problem of ranking capability sets in terms of the standard of living offered to the agent. For this purpose, we consider capability sets that are non-degenerate, compact, comprehensive and convex subsets of the-dimensional real space, propose several intuitively plausible properties for the ranking and give characterizations of some ranking rules.
