Social Choice on Social Networks

Résumé

Individuals do not typically reason in isolation when confronted with collective-decision making, but rather take into consideration the preferences of like-minded individuals and engage in strategic activities such as influence, persuation and information exchange. Consider the example of a vote in a small committee, like a department meeting or a company board. Members typically have partial knowledge of other members’ preferences, and before a decision istaken they will take strategic actions on which piece of information to disclose and to whom. There are important variables that they take into account: they know who are the people they cancount on, they know who are the people whose opinion theytrust, they also estimate whether their opinion will be influential and to whom. That is, they reason about the structure of various social networks that relate the individuals around them, and are able to devise and play complex strategies to achieve their goals and influence the result of the collective decision.
