Characterization of the Generalized Top-Choice Assumption (Smith) set

Author

  • Andrikopoulos, Athanasios

Abstract

In this paper, I give a characterization of the Generalized Top-Choice Assumption set of a binary relation in terms of choice from minimal negative consistent superrelations. This result provides a characterization of Schwart's set in tournaments.
