Indices of criticality in simple games

Abstract

3sìThe correct reference for the aricle is Vol. 21, No. 1 (2019) 1940003partially_openWe generalize the notion of power index for simple games to different orders of criticality, where the order of criticality represents the possibility for players to gain more power over the members of a coalition thanks to the collusion with other players. We study the behaviour of these criticality indices to compare the power of dierent players within a single voting situation, and that of the same player with varying weight across different voting situations. In both cases we establish monotonicity results in line with those of Turnovec (1998). Finally, we examine which properties characterizing the indices of Shapley-Shubik and Banzhaf are shared by these new indices.embargoed_20200515Marco Dall'Aglio, Vito Fragnelli, Stefano MorettiDall'Aglio, Marco; Vito, Fragnelli; Stefano, Morett
