Two types of participation failure under nine voting methods in variable electorates
What to Do About Election Inversions Under Proportional Representation
An election inversion occurs when a party, or coalition of parties, wins more seats in the legislature than another party, or coalition of parties, despite the fact that the other party, or coalition of parties, won a larger number of votes cast in an election. It is well known that such inversions can and do occur under the kind of ‘majoritarian’ electoral systems commonly used in English-speaking countries. It has recently been observed that su…
Interacting double monotonicity failure with direction of impact under five voting methods
Weak Condorcet winner(s) revisited
Individual rationality and bargaining
Nonvoting and the Decisiveness of Electoral Outcomes
The authors reexamine the relationship between closeness and turnout by looking at aggregate-level variables and studying fifty-seven elections. They also attempt to estimate how much voter turnout is likely to change as a function of change in the closeness of elections. Specifically, they hypothesize that in first-past-the-post elections, turnout will be affected by the voters' expectation of how close the elections are going to be, by the turn…
Homogeneity, Heterogeneity and Direct Democracy: The Case of Swiss Referenda
The general question addressed in this study is whether voting behaviour in referenda conducted in a pluralistic society tends to reflect more the heterogeneous or the homogeneous characteristics of this society. In order to answer this question we investigated, mainly by means of factor analysis, all 538 federal referenda conducted in Switzerland since the foundation of the Swiss Confederation in 1848 until the end of 2005. Based on the extensiv…
A Priori Voting Power: What is it All about
We explain the meaning of a priori voting power and outline how it is measured. We distinguish two intuitive notions as to what voting power means, leading to two approaches to measuring it. One conception, I-power, focuses on a voter's potential influence over the outcome of decisions by a voting body. The second conception, P-power, focuses on voters' payoff, their expected share of a fixed winning ‘prize’. We discuss and rebut some philosophic…

Myths and Meanings of Voting Power: Comments on a Symposium
These are comments on the Symposium `Power Indices and the European Union' in the July 1999 issue of this Journal. We point out several common inter-connected confusions and errors concerning the meaning of voting power. We stress the vital distinction between two different intuitive notions of voting power. We emphasize the need for a unified approach to the study of a priori and actual voting power. We show that the family of `strategic' measur…
Minimizing the mean majority deficit: The second square-root rule
The Measurement of Voting Power: Theory and Practice, Problems and Paradoxes
This book is the first of its kind: a monograph devoted to a systematic critical examination and exposition of the theory of a priori voting power. This important branch of social-choice theory overlaps with game theory and is concerned with the ability of members in bodies that make yes or no decisions by vote to affect the outcome. The book includes, among other topics, a reasoned distinction between two fundamental types of voting power, the a…

An Empirical Evaluation of Six Voting Procedures: Do They Really Make Any Difference
Six single- or multi-winner voting procedures are compared to one another in terms of the outcomes of thirty-seven real elections conducted in Britain by various trade unions, professional associations and non-profit-making organizations. The six procedures examined are two versions of plurality voting (PV), approval voting (AV), the Borda-count (BR), the alternative and repeated alternative vote (ALV–RAL) and the single transferable vote (STV). …

The Bargaining Problem Revisited: Minimum Utility Point, Restricted Monotonicity Axiom, and the Mean as an Estimate of Expected Utility
On the basis of the results obtained by different experiments testing two-person bargaining situations, it is reasonable to assume that under certain circumstances bargainers are more likely to refer to a “minimum utility point” in forming their strategies, and hence reach different agreements than as hitherto suggested in the literature, e.g., the Nash or the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution. The employment of such a minimum utility point is not merel…

Do They Lie
Attempts to ascertain respondents' attitudes and behavior in respect to sensitive subject matters through classical interviewing methods carry a significant risk of obtaining insincere responses. By employing three alternative types of interviewing methods, that is, regular interview, ballot-box, and the randomized response technique, one finds that past voting behavior, future voting intentions and attitudes toward issues which determine party a…

Physician Manpower Data: The Case of the Missing Foreign Medical Graduates
The problems inherent in the AMA physician manpower data base are illustrated by a cohort study of physicians immigrating to the United States between 1961 and 1971. An estimated 33 per cent of the 27,710 immigrants in the cohort were not on the 1971 AMA physician file. The results of this study and consideration of other problems with the AMA data point to the need for a new data base which will include all physicians working in the U.S. We woul…

Decision‐making in mixed situations: An application to Israeli‐egyptian relations, 1956–1979
The model of “two‐dimensional mixed competitive situation” is suggested as a framework for the analysis of the Israeli‐Egyptian relations during the period 1956–1979. In mixed situations it can often happen that rivals having conflicting interests and no dominant course of action, will choose the same alternative if they employ the same decision criterion for selecting among the alternatives. The above period is divided into two sub‐periods. In t…
Applying the Redundancy Concept to Administrative Organizations
A decade has now passed since Martin Landau' first alerted administrative scientists to the benefits of redundancy and overlap in administrative organizations. Although the need to maintain redundancies in administrative systems is clear in principle, it is not at all clear how one can design optimal redundant administrative systems in practice. The common reason for introducing redundancies into any system, administrative or inanimate, is to min…
