Gender and Ethnicity-Married immigrants in Britain
In this paper we investigate the economic activity of married or cohabiting female immigrants in Britain. We distinguish between two immigrant groups: foreign born females who belong to an ethnic minority group and their husbands, and foreign born white females and their husbands. We compare these to native born white women and their husbands. Our analysis deviates from the usual mean analysis ...
متن کاملEfficient Vote Elicitation under Candidate Uncertainty
Top-k voting is an especially natural form of partial vote elicitation in which only length k prefixes of rankings are elicited. We analyze the ability of top-k vote elicitation to correctly determine true winners, with high probability, given probabilistic models of voter preferences and candidate availability. We provide bounds on the minimal value of k required to determine the correct winne...
متن کاملRecovering Vote Choice from Partial Incomplete Data
In voting rights cases, judges often infer unobservable individual vote choices from election data aggregated at the precinct level. That is, one must solve an ill-posed inverse problem to obtain the critical information used in these cases. The ill-posed nature of the problem means that traditional frequentist and Bayesian approaches cannot be employed without first imposing a range of assumpt...
متن کاملElectoral College and Direct Popular Vote for Multi-Candidate Election
The objective of typical pattern recognition problems, such as a face recognition problem, is to find a computable mapping f : X → DI , where DI = {I1, I2, · · · , In} represents a set of known objects, which may be called the gallery, or the database; such that for an input O , f (O), should be its identity. The performance of a pattern recognition algorithm or function, f , can be measured by...

When citizens enter the voting booth on election day, they do so in an environment where the stakes are often unclear. Over the last 40 years, political scientists have been interested in the choice dynamics at work in such situations. Recent work in political science has taken up the question of issue voting under conditions of uncertainty—situations in which voters have imperfect information ...
