Consistency of a binary relation requires any preference cycle to involve indifference only. As shown by Suzumura (1976 …b), consistency is necessary and sufficient for the existence of an ordering extension of a relation. Because of this … important role of consistency, it is of interest to examine the rationalizability of choice functions by means of consistent …

Consistency, a natural weakening of transitivity introduced in a seminal contribution by Suzumura (1976b), has turned … is shown that the conclusion of the welfarism theorem remains true if transitivity is replaced by consistency and that an … impossibility result in variable-population social-choice theory turns into a possibility if transitivity is weakened to consistency. …
