title = "Good and Bad Objects: Cardinality-Based Rules",
abstract = "We consider the problem of ranking sets of objects, the members of which are mutually compatible.Assuming that each object is either good or bad, we axiomatically characterize three cardinality-based rules which arise naturally in this dichotomous setting.They are what we call the symmetric difference rule, the lexicographic good-bad rule, and the lexicographic bad-good rule.Each of these rules induces a unique additive separable preference relation over the set of all groups of objects.",
