My research focuses on Social Choice Theory (in particular with axiomatic approaches on justice theory or voting theory).
Recently I have turned my research to Social Networks.

This paper provides an axiomatic characterization of two rules for
comparing alternative sets of objects on the basis of the diversity that
they offer. The framework considered assumes a finite universe of
objects and an a priori given ordinal quaternary relation that compares
alternative pairs of objects on the basis of their dissimilarity. The rule
that we characterize is the maxi-max criterion. It considers that a set is
more diverse than another if and only if the two most dissimilar objects
in the former are weakly as dissimilar as the two most dissimilar objects
in the later. Some connections with the issue of appraising freedom of
choice are also provided. Hide Abstract
