Multidimensional Voting under Uncertainty ∗
The nonexistence of equilibria in platform setting games with mutliple issues is one of the more puzzling results in political economics. In this paper we relax the stardard assumption that parties either have perfect information about the electorate or that they behave as expected utility maximizers. We show that equilibria often exist when parties are instead uncertainty averse. What is more,...
متن کاملPlurality Voting Under Uncertainty
Understanding the nature of strategic voting is the holy grail of social choice theory, where game-theory, social science and recently computational approaches are all applied in order to model the incentives and behavior of voters. In a recent paper, Meir et al. (2014) made another step in this direction, by suggesting a behavioral game-theoretic model for voters under uncertainty. For a speci...
متن کاملManipulation under voting rule uncertainty
An important research topic in the field of computational social choice is the complexity of various forms of dishonest behavior, such as manipulation, control, and bribery. While much of the work on this topic assumes that the cheating party has full information about the election, recently there have been a number of attempts to gauge the complexity of non-truthful behavior under uncertainty ...
متن کاملA Psychologically-Based Simulation of Human Behaviour
We describe a system designed to simulate human behaviour in crowds in real-time, concentrating particularly on collision avoidance. The algorithms used are based heavily on psychology research, and the ways this has been used are explained in detail. We argue that this approach gives better results than conventional methods, and detail further work to be done.
متن کاملA Psychologically Plausible Goal-Based Utility Function
Utility is a concept that is central to economics, finance, and decision theory. In the informing sciences, it also plays a central role: that of explaining the client’s motivation to be informed. Unfortunately, existing economic models of utility are plagued by many anomalies when applied to individual clients and also fail to incorporate many important features that are relevant to informing ...
