Social Choice without the Pareto principle under weak independence Ceyhun Coban, WUSTL M. Remzi Sanver, Bilgi University
: L(A)N CT(A) • Arrow: Within the class of Pareto optimal SWFs, IIA is equivalent to dictatoriality.
IIA Given any two alternatives x, y and any two preference profiles P, P’ with x Pi y x Pi’ y we have x (P) y x (P’) y
Citizen sovereignty • For any x, y A, P L(A) such that x (P) y
Arrow versus Wilson • Arrow: Within the class of Pareto optimal SWFs, IIA is equivalent to dictatoriality. • Wilson: Within the class of citizen sovereign SWFs, IIA is equivalent to dictatoriality or antidictatoriality or the null rule.
IIA versus weak IIA Given any two alternatives x, y and any two preference profiles P, P’ with x Pi y x Pi’ y we have IIA: x (P) y x (P’) y WIIA: x *(P) y x (P’) y
Arrow versus Baigent/Campbell • Arrow: Within the class of Pareto optimal SWFs, IIA is equivalent to dictatoriality. • Baigent/Campbell: Let #A 4. Within the class of Pareto optimal SWFs, weak IIA is equivalent to weak dictatoriality.
