The Proportional Lottery Protocol is Strongly β-participatory and Vnm-Strategy-Proof

نویسنده

  • Stefano Vannucci
چکیده

A voting protocol is said to be strongly participatory if for any player i and any strategy profile either the outcome is i‘s preferred one or i has a strategy which would ensure her a better outcome, and VNMstrategy proof if at any preference profile the set of sincere strategies of each player is a VNM-stable set. It is shown that the proportional lottery (PL) modular voting protocol is both strongly participatory and VNMstrategy proof.

A Generalization of Expected Utility: Ex-Post Luck

I generalize the Von Neumann-Morgenstern (vNM) Expected Utility Theorem in the case of a finite set by weakening the Independence and Continuity axioms. In the resulting representation a lottery ∑ πixi is evaluated by ∑ Ψ(πiu(xi)), where the shape of Ψ determines what I call mixture attitudes. I consider three extensions: 1) allowing mixture-seeking attitudes in addition to mixture-averse attit...

A Decentralized Online Sortition Protocol

We propose a new online sortition protocol which is decentralized. We argue that our protocol has safety, fairness, randomness, non-reputation and openness properties. Sortition is a process that makes random decision and it is used in competitions and lotteries to determine who is the winner. In the real world, sortition is simply done using a lottery machine and all the participa...

Strategy Proof Scoring Rule Lotteries for Multiple Winners

We develop a lottery procedure for selecting multiple winners that is strategy proof. The rule assigns points to each candidate based on any standard scoring rule method, and then uses one draw to select a single winning set of candidates in proportion to their collective score. In addition to being strategy proof, the lottery rule is also shown to have several other attractive normative proper...

Random Serial Dictatorship: The One and Only

Fix a Pareto optimal, strategy proof and non-bossy deterministic matching mechanism and define a random matching mechanism by assigning agents to the roles in the mechanism via a uniform lottery. Given a profile of preferences, the lottery over outcomes that arises under the random matching mechanism is identical to the lottery that arises under random serial dictatorship, where the order of di...

Twofold optimality of the relative utilitarian bargaining solution

Given a bargaining problem, the relative utilitarian (RU) solution maximizes the sum total of the bargainer’s utilities, after having first renormalized each utility function to range from zero to one. We show that RU is ‘optimal’ in two very different senses. First, RU is the maximal element (over the set of all bargaining solutions) under any partial ordering which satisfies certain axioms of...
