Narrowing the field in elections: The Next-Two rule

Brams, Steven J; Kilgour, D Marc - In: Journal of Theoretical Politics 24 (2012) 4, pp. 507-525

We suggest a new approach to narrowing the field in elections, based on the â€˜deservingnessâ€™ of candidates to be contenders in a runoff, or to be declared one of several winners. Instead of specifying some minimum percentage (e.g., 50) that the leading candidate must surpass to avoid...

Proportional Representation, Gini Coefficients, and the Principle of Transfers

Puyenbroeck, Tom Van - In: Journal of Theoretical Politics 20 (2008) 4, pp. 498-526

While various authors have appealed to Dalton's Principle of Transfers, the Lorenz curve, and the Gini Coefficient to assess disproportionality in proportional representation systems, some additional clarifications are warranted with regard to these concepts and their proper application to the...

On stationary multiplier methods for the rounding of probabilities and the limiting law of the Sainte-Laguë divergence

Heinrich, Lothar; Pukelsheim, Friedrich; … - In: Statistics & Decisions 23 (2005) 2, pp. 117-129

Summary Stationary multiplier methods are procedures for rounding real probabilities into rational proportions, while the Sainte-Laguë divergence is a reasonable measure for the cumulative error resulting from this rounding step. Assuming the given probabilities to be uniformly distributed, we...
