5.2 Choosing a reference point to achieve equilibrium efficiency
\ 
\ Remark that this result holds for any value of α, including for α = 1, which corresponds to a situation where the tax rate is zero. In that case, the entire surplus of the economy is distributed following the Shapley value. The analysis implies that if an economy can choose its reference point, it can always do so to lead to equilibrium efficiency.
