GTO2-1-07: Single-Peaked Preferences
Channel: Game Theory Online
Date: 2013-11-29

Although non-paradoxical preference aggregation is impossible in general settings, it is possible in some restricted settings.  This video from Game Theory Online (http://www.game-theory-class.org) describes one such setting, in which agents are restricted to have "single-peaked preferences" where they prefer outcomes solely based on how close they are to a single favorite outcome.  It features Matt Jackson (Stanford).
