Decidability in complex social choices
Recently, Marengo and Settepanella (2010) introduced a model of social choice among bundles of interdependent elements. In this paper we prove that their voting model is highly decidable, i.e. a group of agents that agrees to use such voting process has an high probability to reach a final decision. We also better qualify the degree of manipulability of such a final decision, showing that it is...
متن کاملDecidability and manipulability in social choice
We present a geometric model of social choice among bundles of interdependent elements, that we will call objects. We show that the outcome of the social choice process is highly dependent on the way these bundles are formed. By bundling and unbundling the same set of constituent elements an authority enjoys a vast power of determining the social outcome, as locally or globally stable social op...
متن کاملRational Choices - Social Contexts
In neoclassical economic theory, rational actors are very simple entities: they know everything, they value more better than less, and given a decision situation with certain physical constraints they are able to calculate the optimal outcome and to behave accordingly (cf. Kiser/Ostrom). Any form of social interaction enters the decision situation as an additional constraint. Relaxing the condi...
متن کاملReasoning about social choices and social relationships
We study inferences about social choices—choices that affect people besides the chooser. Social choices depend on the relationships between the people involved: for example, whether they are friends, strangers, or enemies. We propose that these different social relationships correspond to different ways in which the chooser weights another person’s utility relative to her own. We describe a pro...
متن کاملChoices for Global Social Stability
Scientists and societal leaders increasingly agree that human activity is irretrievably changing the environment in which human life and other life forms co-exist. Action to reduce human impact on the environment is an imperative prerequisite to achieving social stability. Accelerating migration patterns due to environmental stress and population pressure have been associated with emerging conf...
