Abstract: | It is questioned if groups can make reasoned decisions. An original model in judgment aggregation theory demonstrating the general impossibility of consistently describing decision-making purely at the group level is presented. Only a type of unanimity rule can guarantee a group decision is consistent with supporting reasons, even this possibility being limited to a small class of reasoning methods. The key innovation is that this result holds when individuals can reason in different ways, an allowance not previously considered in the literature. |
