Locating public facilities by majority: Stability, consistency and group formation
We consider the following allocation problem: A Þxed number of public facilities must be located on a line. Society is composed of N agents, who must be allocated to one and only one of these facilities. Agents have single peaked preferences over the possible location of the facilities they are assigned to, and do not care about the location of the rest of facilities. There is no congestion. We...
متن کاملPriorities in the location of multiple public facilities
A collective decision problem is described by a set of agents, a pro le of single-peaked preferences over the real line and a number k of public facilities to be located. We consider public facilities that do not su¤er from congestion and are non-excludable. We provide a characterization of the class of rules satisfying Pareto-e¢ ciency, object-population monotonicity and sovereignty. Each rule...
متن کاملVoting on Majority Rules∗
We analyze an overlapping generations model of voting on “reform projects”. These resemble investments in that they first require some investment expenditure and later pay off. Since the time during which old people get the benefit is shorter, or because older people are more wealthy and hence pay more taxes, they are more conservative (against reforms) than young people. We show that if people...
متن کاملIterated Majority Voting
We study a model in which a group of agents make a sequence of collective decisions on whether to remain in the current state of the system or switch to an alternative state, as proposed by one of them. Examples for instantiations of this model include the step-wise refinement of a bill of law by means of amendments to be voted on, as well as resource allocation problems, where agents successiv...
متن کاملImplementation of Majority Voting Rules∗
I study implementation by agenda, a straightforward voting mechanism that is widely used in practice. The main result resolves an open question which dates back to Black [1958] and Farquharson [1957/1969]. It establishes that any neutral majority voting rule which satisfies the two necessary conditions identified in prior work (McKelvey and Niemi [1978]; Moulin [1986]) as well as a significantl...
