\section{Conclusion}
|
||||||
|
\label{sec:conclusion}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We have looked at different possibilities for conducting the voting and winner
|
||||||
|
selection process for participatory budgeting. A budgeting scenario in the
|
||||||
|
mathematical sense has been described and methods for modeling voter
|
||||||
|
satisfaction are discussed. A deeper view on approval-based budgeting models has
|
||||||
|
been given where the voters are assumed to have dichotomous preferences. The
|
||||||
|
complexity of the different rules has been evaluated and contrasted to each
|
||||||
|
other. We have seen that aggregation methods cannot only be compared in terms of
|
||||||
|
complexity but also by using axioms that formulate desirable outcomes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Future research might focus on not only incorporating monetary cost and
|
||||||
|
satisfaction into aggregating winning projects but also other factors such as
|
||||||
|
environmental costs, practicability of participatory budgeting methods as well
|
||||||
|
as scalability of these methods to a very high amount of projects and voters.
|
||||||
|
Interesting further questions are posed by the possibility to combine projects
|
||||||
|
that are indivisible with projects that are divisible under one aggregation
|
||||||
|
rule, leading to a host of \emph{hybrid models}. Because a lot of the methods
|
||||||
|
that have been theorized by researchers have not yet been implemented in
|
||||||
|
practice, research on feasibility could lead to a better understanding of what
|
||||||
|
works and what does not. Another area of research could focus on allowing
|
||||||
|
projects to be related to each other and reflecting those inter-relations in the
|
||||||
|
outcome while still maintaining a grip on the explosion of possible solutions.
|
||||||
|
Exploring more axioms and rule configurations is important for achieving a
|
||||||
|
complete picture of the possibilities within the field of computational social
|
||||||
|
choice. As a final point, research into user interface design during the voting
|
||||||
|
phase might uncover previously unknown impacts of ballot design on the resulting
|
||||||
|
selection of winning projects.
