Introduction to Social Choice
The core idea of social choice is:
Decisions of a group through aggregation of individual preferences to a collective decision.
Each member of a group has its own individual preferences. In order to come to a collective decision, it is necessary to aggregate them. For that purpose, different methods and designs exist:
- Condorcet Method
- Majority Vote
- Borda Count
- Coombs Method
- Instant Run off
- Coin-based voting
- Quadratic voting
- Rough Consensus
