A general framework for participatory budgeting with additional constraints
提出将参与式预算问题嵌入判断聚合框架的新方法,支持项目间依赖和配额等额外约束,并从算法和公理角度分析所得规则,对公共财政和集体决策研究者有参考价值。
Abstract We introduce a new approach for designing rules for participatory budgeting, the problem of deciding on the use of public funds based directly on the views expressed by the citizens concerned. The core idea is to embed instances of the participatory budgeting problem into judgment aggregation, a powerful general-purpose framework for modelling collective decision making. Taking advantage of the possibilities offered by judgment aggregation, we enrich the familiar setting of participatory budgeting with additional constraints, namely dependencies between projects and quotas regarding different types of projects. We analyse the rules obtained in both algorithmic and axiomatic terms.
