Strategic stability and non cooperative voting games: the plurality rule

No 1998043, LIDAM Discussion Papers CORE from Université catholique de Louvain, Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE)

Abstract: In this paper we show, via some simple examples, that also in the class of games we are dealing with, there are perfect equilibria that are not proper and, moreover, some "proper" outcome is not induced by any stable set. Furthermore, we show that the perfect concept does not appear restrictive enough, since, independently of preferences, it can exclude at most the election of only one candidate. Finally, the stable set's conformity to the iterated dominance principle implies the superiority of this solution concept, even in the peculiar class of plurality games.
