Models of Opinion Dynamics with Random Parametrisation
Gabor Toth
We analyse a generalisation of the Galam model of binary opinion dynamics in which iterative discussions take place in local groups of individuals and study the effects of random d…
Probabilistic Voting Models with Varying Speeds of Correlation Decay
Gabor Toth
We model voting behaviour in the multi-group setting of a two-tier voting system using sequences of de Finetti measures. Our model is defined by using the de Finetti representation…
Optimal Weights in a Two-Tier Voting System with Mean-Field Voters
Werner Kirsch, Gabor Toth
We analyse two-tier voting systems with voters described by a multi-group mean-field model that allows for correlated voters both within groups as well as across group boundaries.…
Deviations from the Majority: A Local Flip Model
Gabor Toth, Serge Galam
We study the effect of probabilistic distortions to the local majority rules used in the Galam model of opinion dynamics and bottom-up hierarchical voting. A different probability…
Collective Bias Models in Two-Tier Voting Systems and the Democracy Deficit
Werner Kirsch, Gabor Toth
We analyse optimal voting weights in two-tier voting systems. In our model, the overall population (or union) is split in groups (or member states) of different sizes. The individu…
Limit Theorems for Multi-Group Curie-Weiss Models via the Method of Moments
Werner Kirsch, Gabor Toth
We study a multi-group version of the mean-field or Curie-Weiss spin model. For this model, we show how, analogously to the classical (single-group) model, the three temperature re…
