Coalition Formation and Social Choice
Author: Ad M.A. Van DeemenPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475725787
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Coalition Formation and Social Choice provides a unified and comprehensive study of coalition formation and collective decision-making in committees. It discusses the main existing theories including the size principle, conflict of interest theory, dominant player theory, policy distance theory and power excess theory. In addition, the book offers new theories of coalition formation in which the endogenous formation of preferences for coalitions is basic. Both simple game theory and social choice theory are extensively applied in the treatment of the theories. This combined application not only leads to new theories but also offers a new and fresh perspective on coalition formation and collective decision-making in committees. The book covers the fundamental concepts and results of social choice theory including Arrow's Impossibility Theorem. Furthermore, it gives a coherent treatment of the theory of simple games. Besides more traditional topics in simple game theory like power indices, it also introduces new aspects of simple games such as the Chow parameter, the Chow vector and the notion of similar games.
Coalitions & Organizational Growth: An Exploration of the Collective Action Theory of Organizational Growth
Author: Christopher PortoPublisher: Christopher Porto
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Here I seek a theoretical investigation of the theory of coalition formation based on the nature of collective action of the participants: Coalition formation between groups varies directly with their degree of centralization, independent of other factors, including group size. I also explore how a theory of coalitions may apply to patterns of growth of coalitions (that is, how a theory of coalitions may apply to organizational growth).

Theories of Coalition Formation
Author: James P. KahanPublisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 131776918X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
First published in 1984. In this book, the authors set forth the central ideas and results of the major theories of coalition forming behavior. These theories address situations of partial conflict of interest with the following aspects: (1) there are three or more players, (2) players may openly communicate with each other, and (3) players form coalitions by freely negotiating agreements on how to disburse the gains that result from the coalition members’ joint coordinated efforts. These models arise from the two disciplines of mathematics, in the theory of cooperative n-person games with side payments, and social psychology, in theories of small group behavior in mixed-motive situations. The goal is to explore the various solution concepts that make up this body of theory, and in particular to examine the psychological premises that underlie the various theoretical models.
