Abstract: Abstract Pareto optimality is one of the most central concepts in economics. $$\mathrm {SD}$$ SD -efficiency (efficiency with respect to stochastic dominance) is the most established generalization of Pareto optimality for randomized settings. In the last decade, a number of characterizations of $$\mathrm {SD}$$ SD -efficiency have been presented especially in the domain of assignments. We present a new characterization of $$\mathrm {SD}$$ SD -efficiency in the more general domain of randomized social choice.
