Computing Power Indices for Large Voting Games
提出一种结合精确方法与Owen近似方法的新算法,用于计算大型投票博弈中的权力指数,尤其适用于玩家数量多但投票权重集中在少数成员手中的情形。
Voting power indices enable the analysis of the distribution of power in a legislature or voting body in which different members have different numbers of votes. Although this approach to the measurement of power has been known for a long time, its application to large games has been limited by the difficulty of computing these indices. This paper presents a new method for computing power indices that combines exact methods with an approximate method due to Owen. This method is of most utility in situations where the number of players is large and the voting weights are concentrated in the hands of a small number of members.
