Apparentement incentives under the d’Hondt method

No 896, KIER Working Papers from Kyoto University, Institute of Economic Research

Abstract: This paper provides an example of sole apparentement (coalition) that leads to unlimited seat losses. The necessary and sufficient condition of the lack of successful apparentements is discovered. A precise description of an apparentement-proof set is recognized. The probability of the lack of successful apparentement is evaluated. A game-theoretical approach for apparentement formation is applied.
