| Authors: | Norbert Brunner H. Reiju Mihara |
| Abstract: | Applying Weglorz' mode s of set theory without the axiom of choice, we investigate Arrow‐type social we fare functions for infinite societies with restricted coalition algebras. We show that there is a reasonable, nondictatorial social welfare function satisfying “finite discrimination”, if and only if in Weglorz' mode there is a free ultrafilter on a set representing the individuals. |
