Each of these social decision ruleslooks first at the size of the common opportunity set available to allmembers of the society. If this is not decisive, additional criteria areused in a lexicographic procedure. Axiomatic characterizations of eachmethos are also provided. Carmen Herrero, Iñigo Iturbe-Ormaetxe & Jorge Nieto
