An axiomatic characterization of the potential decisiveness index
Let us consider that somebody is extremely interested in increasing the probability of a proposal to be approved by a certain committee and let us assume that for achieving this goal he/she is prepared to pay off one member of the committee. In a situation like this one, and assuming that vote-buying is allowed and free of stigma, which voter should be offered a bribe? The potential decisivenes...
متن کاملAn axiomatic characterization of the Hirsch-index
The Hirsch-index is a well-known index for measuring and comparing the output of scientific researchers. The main contribution of this article is an axiomatic characterization of the Hirsch-index in terms of three natural axioms. Furthermore, two other scientific impact indices (called the w-index and the maximum-index) are defined and characterized in terms of similar axioms. © 2008 Elsevier B...
متن کاملAn axiomatic characterization of the Owen-Shapley spatial power index
We present an axiomatic characterization of the Owen-Shapley spatial power index for the case where issues are elements of two-dimensional space. This characterization employs a version of the transfer condition, which enables us to unravel a spatial game into spatial games connected to unanimity games. The other axioms are spatial versions of anonymity and dummy, and two conditions concerned p...
متن کاملAn axiomatic characterization of Yitzhaki’s index of individual deprivation
This note presents and discusses a number of properties a measure of individual deprivation should satisfy. The axioms we propose are necessary and sufficient to characterize Yitzhaki’s index of deprivation making the structure of the index more transparent. 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
متن کاملDefeasible inheritance with doubt index and its axiomatic characterization
This article introduces and uses a representation of defeasible inheritance networks where links in the network are viewed as propositions, and where defeasible links are tagged with a quantitative indication of the proportion of exceptions, called the doubt index. This doubt index is used for restricting the length of the chains of inference. The representation also introduces the use of defea...
