Une étude de physique sur les élections
arXiv:0910.4661
Abstract
We study spatiotemporal regularities of electoral results and turnout rates for each municipality (or polling station) concerning French elections between 1992 and 2007. We try to account for the data using models based on a simple imitation of agents in the vicinity. We also propose a model of an experiment that shows how choices are modified by knowing the choices of others agents.
