I'm not sure how specifically you mean Sen's work
on preferences as opposed to the preferences which
are the basic input to social choice theory.
Regarding the latter, Thad Brown and I are
interested in the consequences of the difficulty
of preference aggregation for all multi-agent
systems. We have papers in Physical Review Letters
and the InterJournal of Complex Systems on this
topic and both spoke about related issues at the
recent RAND Workshop on Complexity and Public
Policy. Our papers can be downloaded from
http://math.ucsd.edu/~dmeyer/research.html
and eventually the workshop presentation will be
posted there also.
Incidentally, these same difficulties exist in the
multi-objective decision making that Andrea asked
about.
Regards,
David
