    • Axiomatic analysis of vote aggregators 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-16)
      In this paper a model for the aggregation of ballot profiles is considered. In this framework some new results are obtained: the characterization of oligarchic aggregators, the characterization of the plurality aggregator ...

    • Axiomatic characterisation of weighted boolean vote aggregators 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-18)
      A Federation Boolean Vote Aggregator allows a finite set of coalitions to unilaterally elect any candidate from a set containing exactly two candidates. There are several special types of Federation Boolean Vote Aggregators, ...

    • Axiomatic characterisation of weighted voting operator 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-18)
      A federation voting operator allows a finite set of coalitions to unilaterally elect any outcome. There are several special types of federation voting operators, all of which share a property: the candidates are assigned ...

    • Axiomatic characterization of the equal income market equilibrium choice correspondence in non convex economies 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-04-01)
      A property of allocation rules (in problems involving fair division of infinitely divisible goods amongst a finite number of agents) that has received considerable attention in recent literature is consistency. The property ...

    • Axiomatic characterizations of some solutions for abstract games 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-16)
      An abiding problem in choice theory has been one of characterizing those choice functions which are obtained as a result of some kind of optimization. Specifically, the endeavour has concentrated largely on finding a binary ...

    • Indirect utility extension: axiomatic characterizations 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-18)
      In this paper, we first provide several axiomatic characterizations of the indirect utility extension. The general problem we are interested in this paper is of the following variety: We are given a finite universal set ...

    • Note on characterising the median 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-16)
      Consider the situation where one has to choose one among three differently priced birthday cakes, to give to a friends. It is very likely, that in the absence of strong personal reasons, one would select the cake whose ...

    • Problems of fair division and the egalitarian solution: a reconsideration 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-16)
      The present paper attempts to provide simple proofs of two theorems in the literature of axiomatic bargaining with a variable population. Both theorems deal with axiomatic characterizations of the egalitarian solution due ...

    • Threshold and median rank solutions for transitive abstract games 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-16)
      In this paper we consider solutions defined on the class of transitive games. A solution is said to be a threshold solution, if for every subgame there exists an alternative such that the solution set for the subgame ...

    • Threshold of median rank solutions 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-18)
      In this paper we consider solutions defined on the class of transitive tournaments. Such solutions are essentially rank solutions i.e. solutions which depend on the ranks of the alternatives and not on any other physical ...

    • Top cycle and uncovered solutions for abstract games: axiomatic characterizations 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-18)
      In this paper we consider binary relations which are reflexive and complete. Such binary relations are referred to in the literature as abstract games. Given an abstract game a (game)solution is a function which associates ...

    • Vote aggregators : some axiomatic characterizations 

      Lahiri, Somdeb (2010-01-18)
      In this paper a model for the aggregation of ballot profiles is considered. In this framework three new results are obtained: the characterization of oligarchic aggregators, the characterization of the plurality aggregator ...
