Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Rochester, 2017.

The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the application of the axiomatic method to a series of problems in economic theory. In these problems, an axiom is a mathematical property that captures an idea whose implications are of interest, and the analysis involves the logical deduction of the joint implications of a collection of these axioms.

520 $a The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the application of the axiomatic method to a series of problems in economic theory. In these problems, an axiom is a mathematical property that captures an idea whose implications are of interest, and the analysis involves the logical deduction of the joint implications of a collection of these axioms.
520 $a In Chapter 1, I investigate when someone's beliefs---their comparisons of events on the basis of relative likelihood---may be represented with a probability measure. Here, an axiom expresses a property of beliefs that captures some aspect of idealized rationality. I propose axioms that allow for events that cannot be divided into two less-likely events, or atoms, and prove that these axioms suffice for the representation.
520 $a In Chapter 2, I investigate how the Roman Catholic Church should elect the pope. Here, an axiom expresses a property of an election rule that, through historical analysis, I identify as an objective of the church. According to my analysis, the church should overturn a 1945 change of Pope Pius XII to reinstate the rule of Pope Gregory XV.
520 $a In Chapter 3, I investigate how a prize should be randomly assigned to a candidate based on nominations from the candidates. Here, an axiom expresses a property of a nomination rule that is normatively appealing. My analysis gives a complete description of the rules that treat participants symmetrically without providing incentives for dishonest nomination, according to two novel notions of symmetric treatment.
