Unsettling aspects of voting theory
Saari, Donald G. - In: Economic Theory 22 (2003) 3, pp. 529-555
Voting procedures are known to be plagued with a variety of difficulties such as strategic voting, or where a voter is rewarded with a better election outcome by not voting, or where a winning candidate can lose by receiving more support. Once we know that these problems can occur, the next...

A characterization of the plurality rule
Sekiguchi, Yohei - In: Economics Letters 116 (2012) 3, pp. 330-332
We consider an axiomatic characterization of the plurality rule, which selects the alternative(s) most preferred by the largest number of individuals. We strengthen the characterization result of Yeh [Yeh, C.-H., 2008. An efficiency characterization of plurality rule in collective choice...

A simple microfoundation for the utilization of fragmentation indexes to measure the performance of a team
Le Maux, Benoit; Rocaboy, Yvon - In: Economics Letters 116 (2012) 3, pp. 491-493
We propose a simple non-cooperative game model in which two fragmented teams compete to increase their performance. The theoretical framework is based on the theory of conflict. We show that, depending on the value of a parameter in the model, the power of the competing teams may be expressed as...

Impossibility theorems with countably many individuals
Ninjbat, Uuganbaatar - In: SERIEs - Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 9 (2018) 3, pp. 333-350
The problem of social choice is studied on a domain with countably many individuals. In contrast to most of the existing literature which establish either non-constructive possibilities or approximate (i.e. invisible) dictators, we show that if one adds a continuity property to the usual set of...
