Mostly sunny : a forecast of tomorrow's power index research

Sascha Kurz; Nicola Maaser; Stefan Napel; Matthias Weber

Power index research has been a very active field in the last decades. Will this continue or are all the important questions solved? We argue that there are still many opportunities to conduct useful research with and on power indices. Positive and normative questions keep calling for theoretical and empirical attention. Technical and technological improvements are likely to boost applicability.
