The dual decomposition of aggregation functions and its application in welfare economics

In this paper, we review the role of self-duality in the theory of aggregation functions, the dual decomposition of aggregation functions into a self-dual core and an anti-self-dual remainder, and some applications to welfare, inequality, and poverty measures.
