A new approach to rights in social choice theory which incorporates utilitarianism

Social Choice and Welfare, 2004, vol. 22, issue 1, 17-28

Abstract: The paper axiomatises a generalised utilitarian aggregation rule, under which different weights are assigned to utilities depending on the different rights involved. The relationship between actions, rights and the evaluation of utilities is investigated. Application is made to a famous example, Edwin-Angelina-the Judge, which appears in the social choice literature. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2004
