A Kaldor-Hicks efficient allocation is an allocation of resources that makes at least one person better off and at least one person worse off provided that those who have been made better off can, but are not required to, compensate those who have been made worse off and still be better off (‘Potential Compensation Condition’). Obviously, the Potential Compensation Condition does not require actual compensation of those who have been made worse off by those who have been made better off (N. Kaldor, ‘Welfare Propositions of Economics and Interpersonal Comparisons of Utility’, 49 Economic Journal (1939) pp. 549–552; J.R. Hicks, ‘The Foundations of Economic Welfare’, 49 Economic Journal (1939) pp. 696–712).
