Mandate and paternalism: A theory of large elections
We propose a game theoretic model of large elections that incorporates the assumption that mandate matters. This innovation is motivated by empirical evidence that US Representatives with larger victory margins on average vote in a more partisan manner. Without relying on preference for voting, this new model predicts strictly positive limiting turnout rates in a costly voting environment as th...
متن کاملA theory of voting in large elections
This paper provides a game-theoretic model of probabilistic voting and then examines the incentives faced by candidates in a spatial model of elections. In our model, voters’ strategies form a Quantal Response Equilibrium (QRE), which merges strategic voting and probabilistic behavior. We first show that a QRE in the voting game exists for all elections with a finite number of candidates, and t...

The first view, which underlies the recent work by Professors Thaler and Sunstein, maintains that paternalism is negatively charged because it involves coercive interference with people’s choices. This approach proves inadequate, however, because more coercive actions can be a less o...
متن کاملAn Influence-Based Theory of Strategic Voting in Large Elections
We consider a voting game where players’ preferences depend both on the identity of the winning candidate and on the fraction of votes each candidate receives. Players’ preferences are stochastic but, when voting, each player knows the entire profile of preferences. In this voting game, we show that the probability of having, in some equilibria, at least one player voting strategically (i.e, no...
