The probability of majority rule instability in the 2D euclidean model with an even number of voters
The classic instability theorems of Euclidean voting theory definitively treat all cases except that of an even number of voters in 2 dimensions. For that case, all that has been known is that the set of stable configurations is neither measure zero nor measure one. We prove that instability occurs with probability converging rapidly to 1 as the population increases.
متن کاملMajority Consensus and the Local Majority Rule
we only show one further result that emphasizes our point that understanding LMP is fundamental to understanding any generalization of this process. A simple generalization of the local majority process would allow vertex v to have some resistivity towards color switch. Formally, for a nonnegative integer kv, we de ne a kv-local majority rule for vertex v: ct+1 v = ( ctv if jfw 2 Nv : ctw = ctv...
متن کاملEndogenous Majority Rules with Changing Preferences
This paper provides a new explanation why several US states have implemented supermajority requirements for tax increases.We model a dynamic and stochastic OLG economy where individual preferences depend on age and change over time in a systematic way. In this setting, we show that the first population of voters will choose a supermajority rule in order to influence the outcomes of future elect...
متن کاملMajority Rule and Utilitarian Welfare∗
We study the welfare properties of majority and supermajority rules when voting is voluntary and costly. Voters in the model have private values with differing preference intensities and voting costs. Our model is non-parametric– with only weak assumptions on the distribution of the number of eligible voters, preferences and costs. We show that, in large elections, majority rule is utilitarian ...
متن کاملMajority-rule supertrees.
Most supertree methods proposed to date are essentially ad hoc, rather than designed with particular properties in mind. Although the supertree problem remains difficult, one promising avenue is to develop from better understood consensus methods to the more general supertree setting. Here, we generalize the widely used majority-rule consensus method to the supertree setting. The majority-rule ...
