Abstract On the occasion of his 60th birthday, we review some of Jérôme Lang’s influential contributions to the study of collective decision making, bringing together ideas from Economic Theory and Artificial Intelligence. Over the past two decades, his work in this domain—often inspired by fundamental questions regarding the most appropriate way of modelling the preferences of individual agents and how answers to those questions might impact the design of algorithms to support decision making—has significantly shaped the interdisciplinary field of Computational Social Choice.
Endriss et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
