Question

Morris Fiorina hypothesized that these people act as minimax-regret strategists. A result named after these people requires that their preferences be single-peaked and either unidimensional or rotationally symmetric. One theorist analogized these people to the consumers in the linear city model and names a paradox that points out the surprisingly high number of these people. When the preferences of these people are aggregated, the results may be intransitive in a result discovered by the Marquis de Condorcet (“con-dor-SAY”). Anthony (10[1])Downs popularized a theorem named for the “median” type of these people. These people may rank preferences ordinally in a method that simulates an “instant runoff.” For 10 points, name these subjects of public choice theory who cast ballots in elections. ■END■
