Counting Strict Gridlock on Graphs
Matthew I. Jones, Zachary Winkeler
Graph colorings have been of interest to mathematicians for a long time, but relatively recently, social scientists have also found them to be interesting tools for studying group…
Candidate Moderation under Instant Runoff and Condorcet Voting: Evidence from the Cooperative Election Study
David McCune, Matthew I. Jones, Andy Schultz +5
This article extends the analysis of Atkinson, Foley, and Ganz in "Beyond the Spoiler Effect: Can Ranked-Choice Voting Solve the Problem of Political Polarization?". Their work use…
Bringing Leaders of Network Sub-Groups Closer Together Does Not Facilitate Consensus
Matthew I. Jones, Nicholas A. Christakis
Consensus formation is a complex process, particularly in networked groups. When individuals are incentivized to dig in and refuse to compromise, leaders may be essential to guidin…
New fairness criteria for truncated ballots in multi-winner ranked-choice elections
Adam Graham-Squire, Matthew I. Jones, David McCune
In real-world elections where voters cast preference ballots, voters often provide only a partial ranking of the candidates. Despite this empirical reality, prior social choice lit…
Equilibria and Group Welfare in Vote Trading Systems
Matthew I. Jones
We introduce a new framework to study the group dynamics and game-theoretic considerations when voters in a committee are allowed to trade votes. This model represents a significan…
It Is Easy For Multi-Issue Bundles To Advance Anti-Democratic Agendas
Matthew I. Jones, Matthew Chervenak, Nicholas A. Christakis
When confronted with a host of issues, groups often save time and energy by compiling many issues into a single bundle when making decisions. This reduces the time and cost of grou…
Spatial Games of Fake News
Matthew I Jones, Scott D. Pauls, Feng Fu
To curb the spread of fake news on social media platforms, recent studies have considered an online crowdsourcing fact-checking approach as one possible intervention method to redu…
The dual problems of coordination and anti-coordination on random bipartite graphs
Matthew I. Jones, Scott D. Pauls, Feng Fu
In some scenarios ("anti-coordination games"), individuals are better off choosing different actions than their neighbors while in other scenarios ("coordination games"), it is ben…
Polarization, Abstention, and the Median Voter Theorem
Matthew I. Jones, Antonio D. Sirianni, Feng Fu
The median voter theorem has long been the default model of voter behavior and candidate choice. While contemporary work on the distribution of political opinion has emphasized pol…
Random Choices can Facilitate the Solving of Collective Network Coloring Problems by Artificial Agents
Matthew I. Jones, Scott D. Pauls, Feng Fu
Global coordination is required to solve a wide variety of challenging collective action problems from network colorings to the tragedy of the commons. Recent empirical study shows…
