SOCIAL CHOICE THEORY - JERRY S KELLY KARTONIERT...

This is a textbook introducing selected topics in formal social choice theory. Social choice
theory studies group choices that are based on information about preferences of members of the
group (voting rules being one important special case). This involves economics  which provides
the method of modelling individual decision making  political philosophy  which provides
criteria about the allocation of decision-influencing power  and game theory  which provides a
framework for thinking about the strategies individuals employ in trying to influence the group
choice. The goal of this book is to take basic ideas like impossibility theorems  rights
exercising and strategy proofness and give the student just enough technical background to be
able to understand these ideas in a logically rigorous way. This is done through a set of 250
exercises that constitute the heart of the book and which differentiate this book from all
other texts in social choice theory.
