Social indicators and policy selection: An experiment in constructing a social objective function

Abstract A small scale experiment is described, the main purpose of which is to evaluate methodology for evaluating within group and between group differences in attitude to a range of scenarios constructed from a number of social and economic indicators. Three countries featured in the study, Greece, Holland, and the U.K. The tool employed in the multidimensional analysis of preference judgements was the suite of linear programming techniques ( linmap ) developed during the 1970's by Srinivasan and Shocker. It is concluded that the methodology is feasible and could have more general application.
