Fuzzy Black'S Median Voter Theorem: Examining the structure of fuzzy rules and strict preference

摘要: Under certain aggregation rules, particular subsets of the voting population fully characterize social preference relation, and preferences remaining voters become irrelevant. In traditional literature, these types i.e. simple have received considerable attention because they produce non-empty maximal sets under single-peaked profiles but are particularly poorly behaved in multi-dimensional space. However, effects fuzzy relations on rules is largely unexplored. This paper extends analysis framework. doing so, we contribute to this literature by relaxing previous assumptions about strict illustrating that Black's Median Voter Theorem does not hold all conceptualizations set.
