Monotonicity and robustness of majority rule

Author

Listed:
  • Ollár, Mariann

Abstract

I show that the majority rule is not "superior" to other rules if independence of irrelevant alternatives is replaced with monotonicity in the Dasgupta and Maskin (2008a) framework. In addition, I introduce a diversity requirement for preferences that restores the superiority of the majority rule in case of monotonicity.
