The character of non-manipulable collective choices between two alternatives
研究了在至少两个备选方案中，结果最多两个的不可操纵社会选择函数的函数形式，并用新概念“特征”统一描述了这些函数形式。
Abstract We consider classes of non-manipulable social choice functions with range of cardinality at most two within a set of at least two alternatives. We provide the functional form for each of the classes we consider. This functional form is a characterization that explicitly describes how a social choice function of that particular class selects the collective choice corresponding to a profile. We provide a unified formulation of these characterizations using the new concept of “character”. The choice of the character, depending on the class of social choice functions, gives the functional form of all social choice functions of the class.
