Type-one preferences assume that each person has a most preferred alternative in a euclidean space and that alternatives are ranked according to their euclidean distance from this point. The result is that if we impose Arrow's conditions of collective rationality, IIA, and the Pareto principle on the social welfare function, then it must be dictatorial. This result may not seem surprising, but it stands in marked contrast to the problem considered by Gibbard and Saiterthwaite of finding a social-choice function. With unrestricted domain, under the Gibbard-Satterthwaite hypotheses, choices must be dictatorial. With type-one preferences this result has been previously shown not to be true.

If a nonmanipulable choice function satisfies a weak unanimity-respecting condition (which is equivalent to having an unrestricted range) then it will depend only on voters' ideal points. Further, such a choice function will decompose into a product of one-dimensional mechanisms in the sense that each coordinate of the chosen point depends only on the respective coordinate of the voter's ideal points. Each coordinate function will also be nonmanipulable and respect unanimity. Such one-dimensional mechanisms are uncompromising in the sense that voters cannot take an extreme position to influence the choice to their advantage. Two characterizations of uncompromising choice functions are presented. One is in terms of a continuity condition, the other in terms of \"phantom voters,\" i.e., those points which are chosen which are not any voter's ideal point. There are many such mechanisms which are not dictatorial. However, if differentiability is required of the choice function, this forces it to be either constant or dictatorial. In the multidimensional case, nonseparability of preferences leads to dictatorship, even if preferences are restricted to be quadratic.", "doi": "10.7907/wckbb-nkp96", "publisher": "California Institute of Technology", "publication_date": "1981-03" }, { "id": "authors:2nh7t-93726", "collection": "authors", "collection_id": "2nh7t-93726", "cite_using_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20171012-170534239", "type": "publication_workingpaper", "title": "Social Welfare Functions for Economic Environments with and without the Pareto Principle", "author": [ { "family_name": "Border", "given_name": "Kim C.", "orcid": "0000-0003-4437-0524", "clpid": "Border-K-C" } ], "abstract": "Social welfare functions for private goods economies with classical preferences are considered.
