Une source méconnue de la théorie de l´agrégation des jugements

The paper is a brief account of Georges-Theodule Guilbaud’s (1912-2006) contributions to contemporary aggregative theories. An unnoticed precursor, Guilbaud anticipated on the algebraic conception of aggregation and on the more recent judgment aggregation theory, which generalizes social choice theory by replacing preferences by judgments. The paper especially emphasizes this last connection. Classification JEL : B21, B31, D71, E10.
