Rationing a commodity along fixed paths
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze the rationing of a commodity along fixed paths. The set of fixed path rationing techniques was determined by four properties, namely, efficiency, strategy-proofness, resource monotonicity and consistency. The fixed-path rationing method supported the allocation of an overdemanded good along a path not dependent of individual demands. Moreover, the rationing method supported individual peaks for a number of condition.s

Probabilities of preferences and cycles with super majority rules
Article Abstract:
A probabilistic model of population preference analyzes the relationship between the behavior of the sample median and voting results. The probability of the Condorcet cycle approaches zero as n increases in supermajority voting conditions. The proposed framework also formulated a probability distribution of agent preferences instead of randomly drawing a finite sample in a probabilistic distribution.
