Mathematics and democracy - designing better voting and fair-division procedures
M&D will emphasize the procedures, or rules of play, that produce outcomes. By making precise properties that one wishes a voting or fair-division procedure to satisfy and by clarifying relationships among these properties, mathematical analysis can strengthen the intellectual foundations on which democratic institutions are based. But because there may be no procedures that satisfy all the pro...
متن کاملClaude Hillinger: On the Possibility of Democracy and Rational Collective Choice
The paper challenges the ‘orthodox doctrine’ of collective choice theory according to which Arrow’s ‘general possibility theorem’ precludes rational decision procedures generally and implies that in particular all voting procedures must be flawed. I point out that all voting procedures are cardinal and that Arrow’s result, based on preference orderings cannot apply to them. All voting procedure...
متن کاملHow to Elect a Representative Committee Using Approval Balloting
Approval balloting is applied to the problem of electing a representative committee. We demonstrate several procedures for determining a committee based on approval ballots, paying particular attention to weighting methods that can reduce the in¤uence of voters with extreme views. We show that a general class of voting systems based on approval ballots can be implemented through analysis of app...
متن کاملParliamentary Voting Procedures in Comparison
Increasingly, scholars of legislative politics propose comparative analyses of parliamentary voting behavior across different countries and parliaments. Yet parliamentary voting procedures differ dramatically across parliamentary chambers and ignoring these differences may, in the extreme, lead to meaningless comparisons. In this paper we present a first glimpse at a comprehensive data collecti...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of pattern classifier combination by plurality voting
Plurality voting is widely used in pattern recognition practice. However, there is little theoretical analysis of plurality voting. In this paper, we attempt to explore the rationales behind plurality voting. The recognition/error/rejection rates of plurality voting are compared with those of majority voting under different conditions. It is demonstrated that plurality voting is more efficient ...
