Sequential Aggregation Judgments: Logical Derivation of Relevance Relation

Abstract:

Following Dietrich (2014) we consider using choice by plurality voting (CPV) as a judgment aggregation correspondence. We notice that a result of Roberts (1991) implies that CPV is axiomatically characterized by anonymity, neutrality, unanimity, and (Young s) reinforcement. Following List (2004) and Dietrich (2015) we construct a sequential voting procedure of judgement aggregation which satisfies rationality, anonymity, unanimity, and independence of irrelevant propositions (with respect to a relevance correspondence that does not satisfy transitivity). We offer a tentative characterization for this aggregation procedure
