This study proposes a model that combines the results of different MCDM techniques for assessing financial performance market-making banks between 2017 and 2020. In decision process, 8 evaluation criteria were weighted with CILOS technique ranking 11 was made MARCOS technique. By using COPELAND technique, under consensus order combined final rankings primary dealer reached. It determined three ...

In thiswork,we contribute to the formal and computational analysis of themeasurement of consensus in a society.We propose a unifyingmodel that generates a consistent decision in terms of the individual preferences and thenmeasures the consensus that arises from it.We focus our inspection on two relevant and specific cases: the Borda and the Copeland rules under a Kemeny-type measure. A computat...

Several recent articles have defined and studied judgment aggregation rules based on some minimization principle. Although some of them are defined by analogy with some voting rules, the exact connection between these rules and voting rules is not always obvious. We explore these connections and show how several well-known voting rules such as the top cycle, Copeland, maximin, Slater or ranked ...

We consider the scenario of a parliament that is going to vote on a specific important issue. The voters are grouped in parties, and all voters of a party vote in the same way. The expected winner decision is known, because parties declare their intentions to vote, but before the actual vote takes place some voters may leave the leading party to join other parties. We investigate the computatio...

In order to characterize the set of desirable social choice functions, researchers have proposed axioms that all social choice functions should satisfy. However, it has been shown that achieving these axioms is impossible. Instead of viewing this impossibility result as a limitation, it can be viewed as an opportunity. In this paper, we develop a means of comparing various social choice functio...

Lu and Boutilier proposed a novel approach based on"minimax regret"to use classical score based voting rules in the setting where preferences can be any partial (instead of complete) orders over the set of alternatives. We show here that such an approach is vulnerable to a new kind of manipulation which was not present in the classical (where preferences are complete orders) world of voting. We...
