Abstract: Most comparisons of preferences are instances of single-crossing dominance.
We examine the lattice structure of single-crossing dominance,
proving characterisation, existence and uniqueness results for minimum
upper bounds of arbitrary sets of preferences. We apply these theorems
to derive new comparative statics theorems for collective choice and
under analyst uncertainty, to characterise a general 'maxmin' class
of uncertainty-averse preferences over Savage acts, and to revisit the
tension between liberalism and Pareto efficiency in social choice.
