Resumen:
Many common social choice functions can be rationalized as Maximum Likelihood Estimators (MLE), but none of them guarantee the selection of a pareto efficient alternative inside the Uncovered Set. The only known social choice function that meets the Uncovered Set -ie. Copeland rule- cannot be rationalized as MLE and thus has no epistemic credentials as a statistical estimator. In this paper we devise a new social choice function that meets both criteria: it guarantees the selection of an uncovered alternative, and also can be rationalized as a MLE. We also argue that it might be grounded on an alternative -but reasonable- reading of Rousseau thought, as expressed in the Social Contract.
