Strategic Candidacy and Voting Procedures
研究候选人如何通过参选或退选策略性地影响投票结果,证明任何满足一致性的非独裁投票程序都会受到非竞争候选人(即不可能获胜的候选人)这种策略行为的影响。
We study the incentives of candidates to strategically affect the outcome of a voting procedure. We show that the outcomes of every nondictatorial voting procedure that satisfies unanimity will be affected by the incentives of noncontending candidates (i.e., who cannot win the election) to influence the outcome by entering or exiting the election.
