Independent, neutral, and monotonic collective choice: the role of Suzumura consistency
We examine the impact of Suzumura’s (Economica 43:381–390, 1976) consistency property when applied in the context of collective choice rules that are...

Characterization of a k-th best element rationalizable choice function with full domain
The idea of confining the idea of ‘rationality’ with that of the ‘choice of best elements’ unnecessarily limits the sense and scope of ‘rationality’....

Two impossibility results for social choice under individual indifference intransitivity
Due to the imperfect ability of individuals to discriminate between sufficiently similar alternatives, individual indifferences may fail to be...
-
Evidence, causality, and sequential choice
Philosophers’ two favorite accounts of rational choice, Evidential Decision Theory (EDT) and Causal Decision Theory (CDT), each face a number of...
-
Relaxed notions of Condorcet-consistency and efficiency for strategyproof social decision schemes
Social decision schemes (SDSs) map the preferences of a group of voters over some set of m alternatives to a probability distribution over the...

Bounded rationality for relaxing best response and mutual consistency: the quantal hierarchy model of decision making
While game theory has been transformative for decision making, the assumptions made can be overly restrictive in certain instances. In this work, we...
-
Bargaining on monotonic social choice environments
Applying the solutions defined in the axiomatic bargaining theory to actual bargaining problems is a challenge when the problem is not described by...

Choice under uncertainty and cognitive load
Does exposure to cognitive load affect key properties of economic behavior? In this experiment, subjects face a series of simple binary decision...

Morally monotonic choice in public good games
Rational choice theory, including models of social preferences, is challenged by decades of robust data from public good games. Provision of public...

Customer preferences heterogeneity toward avocado: a latent class approach based on the best–worst scaling choice modeling
Consumption of the avocado fruit and its availability in the retail market has increased in recent decades and with it the desire to learn more about...

Empirical and computational approaches to collective choice: introduction to a special issue
This special issue examines empirical and computational approaches to collective choice, the aggregation of individual preferences to form a public...

Ranked-choice voting and the spoiler effect
In the popular debate over the use of ranked-choice voting, it is often claimed that ranked-choice voting is less susceptible to the spoiler effect...

A tour-based multimodal mode choice model for impact assessment of new mobility concepts and mobility as a service
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and new mobility concepts mutually inspire each other, provide alternatives for the private car-oriented transport...

Ranked-choice voting and the spoiler effect: a supplementary note
This note supplements the recent work of McCune and Wilson (Public Choice 196(1–2):19–50, 2023) by providing a complete analysis of spoiler effects...

Funding Students Instead of Systems: The Case for School Choice
Schumpeter’s theory of creative destruction is central to policy debates over private school choice programs. School choice supporters argue that the...

How sure are you? — the properties of self-reported conviction in the elicitation of health preferences with discrete choice experiments
Discrete choice experiments (DCE) are often used to elicit preferences, for instance, in health preference research. However, DCEs only provide...

The possibility of generalized social choice functions and Nash’s independence of irrelevant alternatives
Social choice functions are generalized to handle Nash’s independence of irrelevant alternatives. Possibility and impossibility results are...

Revisiting debates over China’s proposed Antarctic specially managed area at Dome A: a test of consistency for the Antarctic Treaty System
Facing the challenges arising from climate change and biodiversity loss, the tool of protected areas has been gaining increasing attention. This...

Validation of a multi-modal transit route choice model using smartcard data
Validation of travel demand models, although recognised as important, is seldom undertaken. This study adds to the scarce literature in this field by...

The Dutch disease revisited: consistency of theory and evidence
The Dutch disease literature reveals several gaps between empirical evidence and theoretical predictions. To bridge such gaps, I develop a model that...
