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.…

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…
