We present a new domain of preferences under which the majority relation is always quasi-transitive and thus Condorcet winners always exist. We model situations where a set of individuals must choose one individual in the group. Agents are connected through some relationship that can be...

We study the problem of a society choosing a subset of new members from a finite set of candidates (as in Barber?Sonnenschein, and Zhou, 1991). However, we explicitly consider the possibility that initial members of the society (founders) may want to leave it if they do not like the resulting...

Strategy-proof social choice functions are characterized for societies where the space of alternatives is any full dimensional compact subset of a Euclidean space and all voters have generalized single-peaked preferences.

A voting scheme assigns to each profile of alternatives chosen by "n" individuals a compromise alternative. Here the … strictly convex norm, common to all agents. A voting scheme is strategy-proof, if voting for one's best point is an optimal …

We discuss sincere voting when voters have cardinal preferences over alter- natives. We interpret sincerity as opposed … to strategic voting, and thus define sincerity as the optimal behaviour when conditions to vote strategically vanish …. When voting mechanisms allow for only one message type we show that this op- timal behaviour coincides with an intuitive …

We discuss sincere voting when voters have cardinal preferences over alternatives. We interpret sincerity as opposed to … strategic voting, and thus define sincerity as the optimal behavior when conditions to vote strategically diminish. When voting … mechanisms allow for only one message type (simple voting mechanisms) we show that eliminating some conditions for strategic …
