CONDORCET CONSISTENCY AND PAIRWISE JUSTIFIABILITY UNDER VARIABLE AGENDAS
International Economic Review, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 313-329, February 2025.Abstract We compare the consequences of imposing upon collective choice functions the classical requirement of Condorcet consistency with those arising when requiring the functions to satisfy the principle of pairwise justifiability. We show that, despite the different logic underlying these two requirements, they are equivalent when applied to ...

Evaluating blockchain as a participatory organisational system: looking for transaction efficiency
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 3842-3872, November 2024.Abstract The article presents a decision‐making model that can be used with blockchain technology.

Thus, the process is parameterised around the acceptance or not of a project, depending on individual ...
