We study multidimensional inequality in partitions of finite multisets with thresholds. In such a setting, a Lorenz-like preorder, a family of functions preserving such a preorder, and a counterpart of the Pigou-Dalton transfers are defined, and a version of the celebrated...

A parameterized characterization of height-based total extensions of Principal filtral opportunity rankings is provided and shown to include as a special case a version of the well-known Pattanaik-Xu characterization of the cardinality-based ranking.

Collective Identification Procedures (CIPs) model admission rules regulating membership in associations, communities and clubs: the Libertarian identification rule Fl is the CIP which essentially relies on self-certification. This paper studies Fl in an arbitrary finite atomistic lattice,...

It is shown that a social choice rule f : X^N ? X as defined on a bounded distributive lattice (X, ) is strategy-proof on the set of all profiles of unimodal total preorders on X if and only if it can be represented as an iterated median of projections and constants. The equivalence of individual...

A choice function is a symmetric revealed core if there exists a symmetric irreflexive ‘dominance’ digraph such that choice sets consist precisely of the locally undominated outcomes of the latter. Symmetric revealed pseudocores are similarly defined by omitting the irreflexivity requirement...

It is shown that the median voter theorem for committee-decisions holds over a full unimodal preference domain whenever (i) the underlying median interval space satisfi?es interval antiexchange and (ii) unimodality is defi?ned with respect to the incidence-geometry of the relevant outcome space...

A choice function is (weakly) width-maximizing if there exists a dissimilarity- i.e. an irreflexive symmetric binary relation- on the underlying object set such that the choice sets are (include, respectively) dissimilarity chains of locally maximum size. Width-maximizing and weakly...

It is shown that simple and coalitional strategy-proofness of a voting rule as defi?ned on the full unimodal domain of a convex idempotent interval space (X; I) are equivalent properties if (X; I) satis?es interval anti-exchange, a basic property also shared by a large class of convex geometries...

It is shown that a two-valued and nonsovereign voting rule is strategy-proof on any preference domain that includes all pro?les of total preorders with a unique maximum if and only if votes for noneligible feasible alternatives are only available to dummy voters. It follows that dummy-free...

The ß-effectivity function of a strategic game form G describes the decision power of coalitions under G as contingent on the ability of each coalition to predict the behaviour of the complementary coalition. An e¤ectivity function E is ß-playable if there exists a strategic game form G such...
