Social choice situations and aggregation criteria: inductive reasoning in social shoice theory

The usual procedure in Social Choice Theory consists in postulating some desirable properties which a aggregation procedure should verify and from them to derive the features of the corresponding social choice function and the outcomes that arise at each possible profile of preferences. In this pape...

El procedimiento usual en la Teoría de la Elección Social consiste en postular algunas propiedades que se desea que un proceso de agregación verifique y de ellas derivar las características de la función de agregación social y los resultados que surgen de aplicarla en cada posible vector de preferencias. En este trabajo invertimos esta línea de razonamiento y tratamos de inferir, a partir de lo que llamamos situaciones sociales (cada una consistente de un vector de preferencias y del ordenamiento social asociado), los criterios verificados en el proceso de agregación implícito. Más aún, los derivamos en forma axiomática. Este proceso de inferencia, que extrae información intensional a partir de la extensional puede ser visto como un ejercicio en “estadística” de la elección social. El hecho de caracterizaciones intensionales completas no pueden ser derivadas en esta forma puede ser fácilmente visto como una consecuencia del procedimiento Facultad de Ciencias Económicas Objeto de conferencia Objeto de conferencia http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) application/pdf
