On the Axiomatic Characterization of Who is a J?

Sung, Shao Chin; Dimitrov, Dinko - 2004

Recent work by Kasher and Rubinstein (1997) considers the problem of group identification from a social choice perspective. These authors provide an axiomatic characterization of a liberal aggregator, whereby the group consists of those and only those individuals each of which views oneself a...

Minimal Liberties, Maximal State and the Market : The Case for a Coasian Liberal

Nicita, Antonio - 2003

The paper compares the Sen's paradox on the Paretian liberal (1970) and the standard version of the Coase theorem (1960). The comparison of the two theorems is somehow puzzling: If we accept Sen then we have to forget Coase and vice-versa. Following the analysis of Hillinger and Lapham (1971),...

Procedurally fair provision of public projects: An axiomatic characterization

Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut - 2011

Unanimous voting as the fundamental procedural source of political legitimacy grants veto power to each individual. We present an axiomatic characterization of a class of bidding processes to spell out the underlying egalitarian values for collective projects of a productive state. At heart of...

Fair collective choice rules: Their origin and relationship

Nishimura, Yukihiro - 2008

This paper provides a conceptual framework on fair collective choice rules that synthesizes the studies of Goldman and Sussangkarn (1978) and Suzumura (1981) on the one hand and Tadenuma (2002, 2005) on the other. We show that both frameworks have the following binary relation as a common...

When Does Approval Voting Make the 'Right Choices'?

Brams, Steven J.; Kilgour, D. Marc - 2011

We assume that a voter’s judgment about a proposal depends on (i) the proposal’s probability of being right (or good or just) and (ii) the voter’s probability of making a correct judgment about its rightness (or wrongness). Initially, the state of a proposal (right or wrong), and the...

Securely Implementable Social Choice Functions in Divisible and Non-Excludable Public Good Economies with Quasi-Linear Utility Functions

Nishizaki, Katsuhiko - 2016

This paper studies the possibility of secure implementation (Saijo, T., T. Sjöström, and T. Yamato (2007) "Secure Implementation," Theoretical Economics 2, pp. 203-229) in divisible and non-excludable public good economies with quasi-linear utility functions. Although Saijo, Sjöström, and...
