Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The contribution explores the possibility of an economic reading of Alexy's work on proportionality. It contends that there are several economic elements and aspects in Alexy's theory. These suggest that a cost-benefit analysis of proportionality is possible and useful for decision purposes. However, Alexy's views on Pareto efficiency suffer from the failure to distinguish Pareto superiority from Pareto optimality and the failure to apply Kaldor-Hicks efficiency to balancing decisions. The paper concludes that, all things considered, an economic reading of Alexy's work is possible and useful, especially if some controversial aspects of it are given an ordinal rather than cardinal interpretation.
