Extending an order to the power set: The Leximax Criterion

Social Choice and Welfare, 2003, vol. 21, issue 1, 63-71

Abstract: This work analyzes the issue of ranking the levels of well-being enjoyed by an agent when dealing with her opportunity set in a freedom of choice context. We try to propose a natural extension of a preference relation over a (possibly) infinite set X to its power set, compatible with the finite Leximax criterion. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2003
