Probabilistic Voting Theory
Peter Coughlin provides the most comprehensive and integrated analysis of probabilistic voting models to date. Probabilistic voting theory is the mathematical prediction of candidate behaviour in, or in anticipation of, elections in which candidates are unsure of voters' preferences. The theory asks first whether optimal candidate strategies can be determined given uncertainty about voter preferences, and if so, what exactly those strategies are …
Probabilistic voting theory
Balanced-budget redistribution as the outcome of political competition: A comment
Candidate Uncertainty and Electoral Equilibria
Enelow and Hinich (1990) have made it clear that the spatial theory of voting encompasses a large number of alternative models of committees and elections and deals with a large number of questions about these models. This particular essay is concerned with an important topic in the spatial theory of voting that has been addressed in a number of different references in the literature: the implications (for two-candidate elections) of candidate un…
Economic policy advice and political preferences
Elections and income redistribution
Rights and the Private Pareto Principle
This paper begins with a review of 'Gibbard's paradox' for rights and Gibbard's proposal for avoiding the paradox. This is followed by a theorem that identifies the pairs where rights are directly relevant (at some profile) when Gibbard's proposal is adopted. As the next step, the paper reviews 'Sen's paradox' and the 'private Pareto principle'-which has recently been proposed by Hammond as a replacement for the traditional Pareto principle, with…
Expectations about voter choices: A comment
Social utility functions for strategic decisions in probabilistic voting models
Pareto optimality of policy proposals with probabilistic voting
Electoral outcomes with probabilistic voting and Nash social welfare maxima
Continuity properties of majority rule with intermediate preferences
