Strategic Voting

Meir, Reshef

Morgan & Claypool Publishers 

The first part of this book asks "are there voting rules that are truthful?" in that all voters have an incentive to report their true preferences. In the second, we ask "what would be the outcome when voters do vote strategically?" rather than preventing such behavior. We overview various game-theoretic models and equilibrium concepts, demonstrate how they apply to voting games, and discuss their implications on social welfare. ISBN 9781681733593, 167 pages.
