Abstract:An Arrovian social choice rule is a social welfare function satisfying independence of irrelevant alternatives and transitivity of social preference. Assume a measurable outcome space X with its (Lebesgue) measure normalized to unity. For any Arrovian rule and any fraction t, either some individual dictates over a subset of X of measure t or more, or at least a fraction 1-t of the pairs of distinct alternatives have their social ordering fixed independently of individual preferences.
