Claude Hillinger: Utilitarian Collective Choice and Voting
In his seminal Social Choice and Individual Values, Kenneth Arrow stated that his theory applies to voting. Many voting theorists have been convinced that, on account of Arrow’s theorem, all voting methods must be seriously flawed. Arrow’s theory is strictly ordinal, the cardinal aggregation of preferences being explicitly rejected. In this paper I point out that all voting methods are cardinal...
متن کاملImpossibility theorems and voting paradoxes in collective choice theory
In the field of positive political theory, the term “impossibility theorem” refers to a collection of results that take as given a set of normatively appealing criteria and deductively prove that such a set of criteria are inconsistent: that is it impossible for a voting system – any voting system – to simultaneously satisfy the given set of criteria. This approach to studying voting systems is...
متن کاملThe Case for Utilitarian Voting
Utilitarian voting (UV) is defined in this paper as any voting rule that allows the voter to rank all of the alternatives by means of the scores permitted under a given voting scale. Specific UV rules that have been proposed are approval voting, allowing the scores 0, 1; range voting, allowing all numbers in an interval as scores; evaluative voting, allowing the scores -1, 0, 1. The paper deals...
متن کاملSubset Selection via Implicit Utilitarian Voting
How should one aggregate ordinal preferences expressed by voters into a measurably superior social choice? A well-established approach — which we refer to as implicit utilitarian voting — assumes that voters have latent utility functions that induce the reported rankings, and seeks voting rules that approximately maximize utilitarian social welfare. We extend this approach to the design of rule...
