Multiple public goods, lexicographic preferences, and single-plateaued preference rules. (Q1399521)

A problem of choosing location in the unit interval [0,1] for identical public goods is considered. The finite number of agents is characterised by a complete, transitive, continuous, and single-peaked preference relation over [0,1]. The preferences are extended from [0,1] to a set of alternatives. The proposed lexicographic extension, called single-plateaued preference rule, is Pareto-optimal, anonymous, and population monotone.
