Weighted Majority Voting Games

Dear colleagues, 

The study of weighted majority voting games is important in understanding decision making in collective bodies such as the IMF, the EU Council of Ministers, and parliaments with disciplined political parties. In some of these bodies, the entire distribution of weights is chosen by design, while in others, it is the result not of planning but of citizens voting in an election. This Special Issue of Games will gather research on theory and applications of weighted majority voting. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

_ Government formation

_ Power measures

_ Specific classes of weighted majority games; enumeration

_ Noncooperative models of bargaining in weighted majority games

_ Cooperative solution concepts for weighted majority games

_ Modelling of voting in the EU

_ Optimal design of voting systems

_ Experimental research on weighted majority voting
