An Assessment of Voting System Simulations

Hannu Nurmi

Public Choice, 1992, vol. 73, issue 4, 459-87

Abstract: In applying the results of the social choice theory to voting procedures, the question arises as to how often the various anomalies can be expected to occur. Computer simulations and probability modeling are common approaches to address this problem. This article is an attempt to find out the robustness of the so-called impartial culture assumption. For this purpose, a major perturbation of the impartial culture assumption is first considered and, thereafter, the author focuses on a few minor modifications of the assumption.
