Abstract

We consider collective decision rules placing finitely many public bads in a region, modeled by a line segment. Agents’ preferences are lexicographic extensions (lexmin) of euclidean single dipped preferences on this interval. The class of all rules satisfying strategy-proofness and pareto optimality is characterized. These rules pick only boundary locations by monotone voting.
