On collective utility functions admitting linear representations
Given n experts, a set X of alternative projects, and various classes of individual utility functions u 1 , … , u n on X, we characterize collective utility functions (CUFs) of the form F ( u 1 , … , u n ) = ∑ 1 n α i u i where α i are positive numbers.
