On Axiomatization of Plurality Decisions with Veto
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The article presents an analysis of the axioms associated with the plurality method of aggregation of individual preferences, both when it is necessary to select one of many alternatives and when it is necessary to approve a single alternative. Also, we investigate the impact of the introduction of a new attribute, being the right of veto (absolute and relative), on the axioms given. In the conclusion, the emphasis is that the commonly used method of aggregation, i.e. the plurality method is not, in this sense, the best method, .

The inverse plurality rule - an axiomatization
This note characterizes the ‘inverse plurality rule’, where voters specify only their least preferred alternative. This rule is characterized by a new minimal veto condition (MV) and the four well known conditions that characterize scoring rules; namely, Anonymity (A), Neutrality (N), Reinforcement (RE) and Continuity (C). Our new characterization result is related to the characterizations of a...
متن کاملBest Reply Dynamics for Scoring Rules
We consider best-reply dynamics for voting games in which all players are strategic and no coalitions are formed. We study the class of scoring rules, show convergence of a suitably restricted version for the plurality and veto rules, and failure of convergence for other rules including k-approval and Borda. In particular, for 3 candidates convergence fails for all rules other than plurality an...
متن کاملHow Bad Is Selfish Voting?
It is well known that strategic behavior in elections is essentially unavoidable; we therefore ask: how bad can the rational outcome be? We answer this question via the notion of the price of anarchy, using the scores of alternatives as a proxy for their quality and bounding the ratio between the score of the optimal alternative and the score of the winning alternative in Nash equilibrium. Spec...
متن کاملBeyond Plurality: Truth-Bias in Binary Scoring Rules
It is well known that standard game-theoretic approaches to voting mechanisms lead to a multitude of Nash Equilibria (NE), many of which are counter-intuitive. We focus on truth-biased voters, a model recently proposed to avoid such issues. The model introduces an incentive for voters to be truthful when their vote is not pivotal. This is a powerful refinement, and recent simulations reveal tha...
متن کاملOn Axiomatization of Power Index of Veto
Relations between all constitutional and government organs must be moderated and evaluated depending on their way of decision making. Among their attributes one may find the right to veto. It is known already that a priori veto is rather strengthening the position of beholder. The evaluation of a power to make a decision is directly connected with a way of power measuring, i.e. with power index...
