From social choice functions to dictatorial social welfare functions

Antonio Quesada

Economics Bulletin, 2002, vol. 4, issue 16, 1-7

Abstract: A procedure to construct a social welfare function from a social choice function is suggested and it is shown that the dictatorial are the only unanimous social welfare functions that can be reconstructed from a social choice function that does not change the social choice when a defeated alternative is moved to the last position in all the individual preferences.
