Abstract: Abstract The Pareto dominance relation of a preference profile is (the asymmetric part of) a partial order. For any integer n, there exists an n-agent preference profile that generates a given Pareto dominance relation if and only if the dimension of the corresponding partial order is less than or equal to n; we provide a general characterization of when this is the case.
