The rho-Diversity Index
CES axioms uniquely determine the diversity measure: the Tsallis entropy with .

Score Reasoning
- Importance
- Pins the diversity order q = rho from CES axioms, connecting production technology to diversity measurement. Important bridge between ecology/IO and CES theory.
- Novelty
- New uniqueness result: CES axioms force q = rho via three independent arguments (production, entropy, information consistency). Not previously established in the diversity index literature.
- Quality
- Clean derivation with three independent arguments, special cases table, and connections to Hill numbers and HHI. Good LaTeX throughout.
