Abstract: |
This article surveys the literature that investigates the consistency of
Arrow's social choice axioms when his unrestricted domain assumptions are
replaced by domain conditions that incorporate the restrictions on agendas and
preferences encountered in economic environments. Both social welfare
functions and social choice correspondences are considered. |
Keywords: |
Social choice, Arrow's Theorem, restricted domains |
