Politicians, CEOs and various other types of dictators make social choices that influence both their own and others' welfare. When a dictator's preferred alternative differs from recipients', it is unclear which preferences they aggregate and how they determine this set of admissible...

We propose the concept of level r consensus as a useful property of a preference profile which considerably enhances the stability of social choice. This concept involves a weakening of unanimity, the most extreme form of consensus. It is shown that if a preference profile exhibits level r...

Eliaz (2004) has established a "meta-theorem" for preference aggregation which implies both Arrow's Theorem (1963) and … preference aggregation is the mutual exclusiveness of Pareto optimality, individual responsiveness (preference reversal) and non …-dictatorship. Recent work on judgment aggregation has obtained important generalizations of both Arrow's Theorem (List and Pettit 2003 …

On the basis of the theory of propositional-attitude aggregation, we argue that this is … the most natural aggregation theory for probability measures.

In response to recent work on the aggregation of individual judgments on logically connected propositions into … collective judgments, it is often asked whether judgment aggregation is a special case of Arrowian preference aggregation.

We present simple and direct arguments to characterize strongly group strategy-proof social choice functions whose range is of cardinality two. The underlying society is of arbitrary cardinality, and agents can be indifferent among alternatives.
