Weakened Liberal Rule Respecting Others’ Consensus: An Axiomatic Characterization
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce the strong quasi-liberal rule, which is an extension of the strong liberal rule in Kasher and Rubinstein (1997) through the requirement of at least one agreement. We provide an axiomatic characterization of strong quasi-liberal rule. Similarly, we generalize the order of the rule (associated with the degree of minimum agreement requirement) to match the Consent Rules in Samet and Schmeidler (2003). The domain is extended to allow an additional proxy opinion for each individual. We show that strong quasi-liberal rule of any finite order (associated with the degree of minimum agreement requirement) converges in probability to the strong liberal rule in a specific setting.

Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 91125 Separation of Decisions in Group Identification
We study a model of group identification in which individuals’ opinions as to the membership of a group are aggregated to form a list of the group’s members. Potential aggregation rules are studied through the axiomatic approach. We introduce two axioms, meet separability and join separability, each of which requires the list of members generated by the aggregation rule to be independent of whe...
متن کاملDecreasing serial cost sharing: an axiomatic characterization
The increasing serial cost sharing rule of Moulin and Shenker (Econometrica 60:1009–1037, 1992) and the decreasing serial rule of de Frutos (J Econ Theory 79:245–275, 1998) are known by their intuitive appeal and striking incentive properties. An axiomatic characterization of the increasing serial rule was provided by Moulin and Shenker (J Econ Theory 64:178–201, 1994). This paper gives an axio...
متن کاملOn the characterization of liberalism by Samet and Schmeidler
Abstract In the model of group identification, or qualification problems, Samet and Schmeidler (2003) provide two axiomatic characterizations of the ``liberal'''' decision rule (a person is socially qualified as a member of a collective if and only if he qualifies himself). They impose monotonicity, non-degeneracy, and independence axioms, which are standard in this model, together with either ...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Bribery and Control in Group Identification
The goal of this paper is to analyze the complexity of bribery and destructive control in the framework of group identification. Group identification applies to situations where a group of individuals try to determine who among them are socially qualified for a given task. We consider consent rules, the consensus-start-respecting rule, and the liberalstart-respecting rule.
متن کاملAn axiomatic characterization of Bayes' Rule
This paper provides an axiomatic characterization of Bayes’ Rule that is widely used for updating beliefs. Bayes’ Rule is viewed as a revision rule. Consider an agent whose belief about a set of states is characterized by a point in a unit simplex of appropriate dimension. Now new information emerges that rules out the possible occurrence of some of the states. The revision rule then assigns ne...
