An axiomatic characterization of the Slater rule

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftTidsskriftartikelfagfællebedømt

Despite being a well-studied decision rule, the Slater rule has not been analyzed axiomatically. In this paper, we show that it is the only rule which is unbiased, monotone, tournamental, tie-breaking, and gradual. Thereby we provide a characterization of it for the first time. We also show these axioms to be logically independent.
