The subject of social choice includes within its capacious frame various problems with the common feature of relating social judgments and group decisions to the views and interests of the individuals who make up the society or the group.

Monadic Social Choice

2013
n this paper, we show how monads and substitutions allows for a separation between social choice and social ‘choosing’. Choice as value and choosing as operation is modeled using underlying signatures and related term monads. These monads are arranged over Goguen’s category Set(L), which provides the internalization of uncertainty both in choice as ...

Empathetic social choice on social networks

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2014
Social networks play a central role in individual interactions and decision making. While it is recognized that networks can correlate behaviors and preferences among connected agents, relatively little work has considered mechanisms for social choice on such networks.

Social Choice and Parties

The Review of Economic Studies, 1976
An important hypothesis for Arrow's Impossibility Theorem is that any configuration of personal preferences on the part of the individuals involved must be allowed. In this paper a similar paradox is obtained under a weaker hypothesis. The set of individuals is supposed to be partitioned into disjoint " parties " characterized by the fact that no two ...

Social Choice on Networks

2015 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 2015
A social network comprises a collective of individuals who exert influence on each other via explicit communication/ control linkages. Applying social choice theory to networks requires the influence linkages to be explicitly embedded into the social choice model. Embedding is accomplished by replacing classical categorical preferences with conditional

Social Choice Functions

SIAM Review, 1974
With $\mathcal{H}$ a family of sets and $\mathcal{D}$ a set, a social choice function assigns a nonempty subset $F(Y,D)$ of Y to each $(Y,D) \in \mathcal{H} \times \mathcal{D}$. In social choice theory, the sets in $\mathcal{H}$ are feasible alternative sets, each $D \in \mathcal{D}$ specifies preferences on the alternatives of individuals in the ...

Social choice

2018
Social choice theory is the branch of economics concerned with the relationships between individual values, preferences and rights and collective decision making and evaluation.

Summation Social Choice Functions

Econometrica, 1973
A summation social choice function is a social choice function whose choice sets are determinable from maximum sums of utilities that preserve individual preference. Assuming the set of alternatives is finite and individual preferences are irreflexive and transitive, a unanimity-type condition is shown to be necessary and sufficient for a social choice
