I present a model of freedom as control. Control is measured by the preferences of a decision-maker, or judge, who values flexibility and is neutral towards outcomes ex ante. Formally, I explore the consequences of adding a neutrality axiom to the Dekel et al. (Econometrica 69(4):891–934, 2001) axioms for preference for flexibility. I characterize the consensus of all neutral judges about which choice situations embody more freedom. The theory extends the freedom ranking literature to situations where agents have imperfect control, as modeled by choices among lotteries. In a voting context, the consensus of neutral judges coincides with Banzhaf power.

中立自由和自由作为控制
我提出一种控制自由的模型。控制是由决策者或法官的偏好来衡量的,决策者或法官重视灵活性,并且事前对结果保持中立。形式上,我探讨了为Dekel等人添加中立公理的后果。(Econometrica 69(4):891–934,2001)偏向于灵活性的公理。我描述了所有中立法官关于哪种选择情况体现更多自由的共识。该理论将自由度排名文献扩展到代理商控制不完善的情况,如通过抽奖中的选择进行建模。在投票方面,中立法官的共识与班扎夫的权力相吻合。
