The equal loss choice function revisited
(2009-12-12)
Choice theory is a mathematical discipline which studies the problem of choosing a point from a set of points by studying the mathematical properties of maps assigning an outcome to each choice problem in some class of ...
Extended partial orders: a note
(2009-12-12)
The purpose of this paper is to establish the equivalence of two axioms one of which appear in Nehring [1997] and the other in Nehring and Puppe [1999]. The one in Nehring and Puppe [1999] is due to Aizerman and Malishevski ...
Chernoff and a new congruence axiom implies full rationality
(2009-12-12)
Rationality in choice theory has been an abiding concern of decision theorists. A rationality postulate of considerable significance in the literature is the weak congruence axiom of Richter (1971) and Sen (1971). It is ...
Quasitransitivity and monotonic preference for freedom
(2010-01-16)
We consider a finite universal set of alternatives and the set of all feasible sets are simply the set of all non-empty subsets of this universal set. A choice function assigns to each feasible set a non-empty subset of ...
Note on characterising the median
(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 ...
Abstract games admitting stable solutions
(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 ...
