A Note on the ‘Equilibrium’ Division of the Vote
This research note proposes a model in which an “equilibrium” share of the vote figures as a measurable quantity. Variants of the model are fitted to election data for the U. S. House of Representatives

Factors considered are share of vote, distribution of the vote and number of candidates in the field. The responsiveness of share of seats to variations in these factors is estimated by fitting linea…
