Abstract

This is a general competitive analysis paper. A model is presented that describes how an individual with a physical disability, or mobility impairment, would go about utility maximization. These results are then generalized. Subsequently, a selection of disability policies from Canada and the United States are compared to the insights of the model, and it is shown that there are sources of inefficiency in many North American disability support systems.
