Economic Theory, 2005, vol. 25, issue 3, 745-749

Abstract: The purpose of this note is to shed some light on the relationship between the Copeland rule and the Condorcet principle in those cases where there does not exist a Condorcet winner. It will be shown that the Copeland rule ranks alternatives according to their distances to being a Condorcet winner. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin/Heidelberg 2005
