Abstract

I explore a novel approach to preference and proposal aggregation theory. My approach relies on abstract algebra and elementary group theory. The use of abstract algebra and the notion of homomorphism not only enable the formalization of such concepts as divergent preferences, status quo bias, abstention etc. and the computation of collective proposals, but they also pave the way for the analysis of preferences that depend on publicly observed signals. Hence, the potential impact of strategies for influencing individual preferences on collective proposals can be analyzed.
