Some Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Representative Decision on Two Alternatives
Abstract
[A social decision rule is one that produces a social decision for each configuration of individuals' decisions. Such a rule is representative if it produces a social decision that is the result of repeatedly applying the rule of simple majority decision to decisions obtained by that rule. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a social decision rule for two alternatives to be representative.]
