Ranking opportunity sets on the basis of similarities of preferences: A proposal

Carmen Vázquez

Mathematical Social Sciences, 2014, vol. 67, issue C, 23-26

Abstract: This paper provides a different proposal for ranking sets of alternatives in terms of a lexicographic rule. We discuss how intensity of preference over alternatives may affect an individual’s choice out of the available set of alternatives. We provide an axiomatic characterization of an ordering rule for ranking sets of available alternatives, taking into account the similarities of the elements within each set.
