Solving the Kemeny ranking aggregation problem with quantum optimization algorithms

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 46, Issue 16, Page 17065-17081, 15 November 2023., 2023
The aim of a ranking aggregation problem is to combine several rankings into a single one that best represents them. A common method for solving this problem is due to Kemeny and selects as the aggregated ranking the one that minimizes the sum of the Kendall distances to the rankings to be aggregated.

Political constitutionalism and populism

Journal of Law and Society, Volume 50, Issue S1, Page S7-S25, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Criticisms of political constitutionalism's relationship to populism point in two opposed directions. Legal constitutionalists consider it too open to, and even as legitimating, populist politics, whereas radical democrats consider it too closed to popular participation, prompting an anti‐system politics of a populist character. I dispute both

The asymmetry, uncertainty, and the long term

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 470-500, September 2023., 2023
Abstract The asymmetry is the view in population ethics that, while we ought to avoid creating additional bad lives, there is no requirement to create additional good ones. The question is how to embed this intuitively compelling view in a more complete normative theory, and in particular one that treats uncertainty in a plausible way.

Socioeconomic differences and the gender division of labor during the COVID‐19 lockdown: Insights from France using a mixed method

Gender, Work &Organization, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 1296-1316, July 2023., 2023
Abstract The sudden and unanticipated shocks to employment and the almost total retreat into the domestic sphere caused by the COVID‐19 lockdowns provide a unique opportunity to explore the resilience of the three classical theoretical paradigms of the gendered division of labor within couples, that is, the time availability theory, the relative ...

Set-Monotonicity Implies Kelly-Strategyproofness [PDF]

, 2014
This paper studies the strategic manipulation of set-valued social choice functions according to Kelly's preference extension, which prescribes that one set of alternatives is preferred to another if and only if all elements of the former are preferred ...

On the Possibility of Democracy and Rational Collective Choice [PDF]

, 2004
The paper challenges the 'orthodox doctrine' of collective choice theory according to which Arrow’s 'general possibility theorem' precludes rational decision procedures generally and implies that in particular all voting procedures must be flawed.

Voting and the Cardinal Aggregation of Judgments [PDF]

, 2004
The paper elaborates the idea that voting is an instance of the aggregation of judgments, this being a more general concept than the aggregation of preferences. To aggregate judgments one must first measure them.

A Theory of Best Choice Selection through Objective Arguments Grounded in Linear Response Theory Concepts

Physics
In this study, we propose how to use objective arguments grounded in statistical mechanics concepts in order to obtain a single number, obtained after aggregation, which would allow for the ranking of “agents”, “opinions”, etc., all defined in a very ...

Exploiting Polyhedral Symmetries in Social Choice

, 2012
A large amount of literature in social choice theory deals with quantifying the probability of certain election outcomes. One way of computing the probability of a specific voting situation under the Impartial Anonymous Culture assumption is via counting

The right to decide: A decision‐based perspective on corporate stakeholder governance

Strategic Management Journal, Volume 46, Issue 12, Page 3023-3047, December 2025.
Abstract Research Summary Complications arise when stakeholders with heterogeneous and potentially misaligned preferences are considered in corporate decisions. This paper examines how high‐level decision‐making corporate forums, such as boards, can address such heterogeneous claims. We identify three corporate stakeholder governance types depending on
