Axiomatic characterisation of weighted boolean vote aggregators
(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 characterization of the equal income market equilibrium choice correspondence in non convex economies
(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 analysis of vote aggregators
(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 ...
Problems of fair division and the egalitarian solution: a reconsideration
(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 of median rank solutions
(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 ...
Axiomatic characterisation of weighted voting operator
(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 ...
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 ...
Threshold and median rank solutions for transitive abstract games
(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 ...
Indirect utility extension: axiomatic characterizations
(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 ...
Axiomatic characterizations of some solutions for abstract games
(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 ...
