Abstract: Arrow’s impossibility theorem and the Muller–Satterthwaite theorem are further interconnected by showing that translating one result into the other’s setting leads to similar results. This approach generated more impossibility theorems which are interesting on their own. Moreover, an implication of having these impossibility results on a unifying impossibility theorem in Eliaz (Soc Choice Welf 22:317–330, 2004 ) is also discussed.
