Maskin monotonic aggregation rules

Economics Letters, 2006
Given a society confronting two alternatives, we show that the set of anonymous, neutral and Maskin monotonic aggregation rules coincides with the family of absolute qualified majority rules. We also explore the effect of incorporating Pareto optimality in our characterization.

Monotone optimal decision rules and their computation

Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, 1986
For a given objective function w(x,a) on \(X\times A\), a maximizing \(a=\delta (x)\) has to be determined for each x in the totally ordered set X. We give conditions on w such that there is a monotone \(\delta\) which can be computed recursively if A is finite.

Rule learning with monotonicity constraints

Proceedings of the 26th Annual International Conference on Machine Learning, 2009
In classification with monotonicity constraints, it is assumed that the class label should increase with increasing values on the attributes. In this paper we aim at formalizing the approach to learning with monotonicity constraints from statistical point of view.

Learning of non-monotonic rules by simple perceptrons [PDF]

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1998
In this paper, we study the generalization ability of a simple perceptron which learns an unrealizable Boolean function represented by a perceptron with a non-monotonic transfer function of reversed-wedge type. This type of non-monotonic perceptron is considered as a variant of multilayer perceptron and is parametrized by a single `wedge' parameter a ...

Monotonicity and qualified majority rules

Economic Theory Bulletin, 2018
This paper reflects on some results characterizing qualified majority rules using monotonicity as a key axiom. In particular, some errors in the existing literature are detected and ways to fix them are proposed. Then, the role of monotonicity axiom in characterizing majority rules is analyzed.

Monotonicity and robustness of majority rule

Economics Letters, 2010
Abstract I show that the majority rule is not “superior” to other rules if independence of irrelevant alternatives is replaced with monotonicity in the Dasgupta and Maskin (2008a) framework. In addition, I introduce a diversity requirement for preferences that restores the superiority of the majority rule in case of monotonicity.

Minimal monotonic extensions of scoring rules

Social Choice and Welfare, 2005
Noting the existence of social choice problems over which no scoring rule is Maskin monotonic, we characterize minimal monotonic extensions of scoring rules. We show that the minimal monotonic extension of any scoring rule has a lower and upper bound, which can be expressed in terms of alternatives with scores exceeding a certain critical score.

Monotonic Assignment Rules and Common Pricing

Mathematics of Operations Research, 2006
In this paper we study the production and pricing of a good by a single supplier (such as a monopolist or government) under some given optimality criterion—for example, profit maximization or social benefit maximization. In general, this may require discriminatory pricing.
