Preference diversity
摘要
How can we assess the diversity of a group of decision makers? Identifying decision makers with their preferences, we address this question by applying the multi-attribute approach developed by Nehring and Puppe (2002) to sets of preferences. Specifically, we provide a repertoire of alternative models to measure the diversity of sets of preferences. The proposed models are purely ordinal and are characterized in terms of the different properties that a preference order need to satisfy in order to contribute to the diversity of a given set of preference orderings.
中文摘要
如何评估一组决策者的多样性？通过将决策者与其偏好相对应，我们运用Nehring和Puppe（2002）发展的多属性方法来解决这一问题，并将其应用于偏好集合。具体而言，我们提供了一系列替代模型来衡量偏好集合的多样性。所提出的模型纯属序数性质，并通过偏好序需满足的不同属性来刻画，这些属性决定了偏好序对给定偏好序集合多样性的贡献。
