''Aggregating quasi-transitive preferences: a note'' |
( 2014, Vol. 34 No.2 ) |

|
To examine the consequences of allowing individual to violate full rationality in collective decision making, this article discusses the possibility of aggregating quasi-transitive preferences in the Arrovian framework. Quasi-transitive valued aggregating functions are discussed and characterised. A characterisation of the weak Pareto extension rule is also achieved as a corollary. |
