Incentives in social decision schemes with pairwise comparison preferences (Q6148378)

This article studies incentive properties of social decision schemes (SDS) using pairwise comparison (PC). It shows that, for strict preferences and four or more alternatives, no Condorcet-consistent SDS satisfies PC-strategyproofness, no anonymous and neutral SDS satisfies both PC-efficiency and PC-strategyproofness, and no anonymous and neutral SDS satisfies both PC-efficiency and strict PC-participation. It also provides an example of a preference profile and a PC-inefficient lottery such that no sequence of PC-improvements starting from it leads to a PC-efficient lottery.
