Abstract

This paper presents a social evaluation function that combines the ideas of Borda and Condorcet by computing the support that each alternative receives on average, when confronted with any other in a series of tournaments. Even though the evaluation follows Condorcet’s tournament approach and evaluates social alternatives in terms of pairwise comparisons, it ponders the outcomes of those comparisons differently, depending on how each alternative fares with respect to the others (a Borda count ingredient). The evaluation appears as the stable distribution of an iterative process in which each alternative competes randomly with any other, and results in a vector of positive numbers that tell us the relative social support of the different options
