Abstract: | Recent experimental studies show that the predictive accuracy of many of the solution concepts derived from the collective decision making theory leaves much to be desired. In a previous paper the author attempted to explain some of the inaccuracies in terms of the fuzzy indifference regions of the individuals participating in the voting game. This paper gives straightforward generalizations of the solutions concepts in terms of the fuzzy social or individual preference relations. It turns out that some of these new solution concepts cotain their nonfuzzy counterparts as subsets. Others, in turn, are subsets of their nonfuzzy counterparts. We also discuss a method of aggregating individual nonfuzzy preferences so as to get a fuzzy social preference relation and, furthermore, a nonfuzzy social choice set. |
