在规范经济学中，机构的公理性质通常是从设计者的角度出发，而不是从参与者的角度出发。相比之下，我认为，在现实世界的应用中，公理的核心作用应该是帮助向参与者解释机制的结果。我特别借鉴了我在两个领域的实践经验：公平分配，我认为这是公理方法的成功案例；投票，这一方法目前存在不足。
In normative economics, axiomatic properties of mechanisms are often formulated by taking the viewpoint of the designer on what is desirable, rather than that of the participants. By contrast, I argue that, in real-world applications, the central role of axioms should be to help explain the mechanism’s outcomes to participants. I specifically draw on my practical experience in two areas: fair division, which I view as a success story for the axiomatic approach; and voting, where this approach currently falls short.
