![Political Competition Each of 2 political candidates chooses a policy position x e l0, 1: Voters (there is a continuum of them) are uniformly distributed on [0,1]; each votes for whichever candidate chooses a position closest to him. (So for example, if candidate 1 chooses x and candidate 2 chooses 2,then all voters abovevote for candidate 2, all below vote for candidate 1). The candidate with the most votes wins; in case of a tie, each wins with positive probability. A candidates payoff is 1 if he wins, 0 if he loses. Find all NE of the game. (Note: a NE is a pair (x;x2) such that, given the opponents policy choice, neither candidate wishes to change his position).

Suppose voters are uniformly distributed along a continuum between 0 and 1. There are two candidates. Voters will vote for the candidate who locates closes to them. Candidates only care about receiving more votes than the other candidate (and prefer a tie to losing).What is the rationalizable set of locations for each candidate?

Suppose 2 candidates are vying for election by trying to position themselves along a discrete political spectrum 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . Ten percent of the votes are at each location on the spectrum. Each candidate wants to maximize her share of the votes by choosing her position on the spectrum; voters vote for the candidate closest to their position on the spectrum, and if there is a tie in distance they split their...

4. (Voter Participation): 2 candidates A and B compete in an election. Of the n citizens, k support candidate A and the remaining (n − k) support B. Each citizen chooses whether to abstain, or to vote at a cost. A citizen who abstains receives payoff 2 if the candidate she supports wins, 1 if this candidate ties for 1st place, and 0 if the candidate loses. A citizen who votes receives the same payoffs, minus a voting cost 0...

There are N voters. There are 4 candidates. If we were to ask each of the N voters, we would learn that 30% would vote for candidate A 25% would vote for candidate B 25% would vote for candidate C 20% would vote for candidate D Since it is unrealistic to ask the whole population, we randomly sample a subset n. Let Yi be the response from the i th sampled voter. Let yi denote the outcome of Yi. yi...

2. Reconsider the model of 2 candidate competition (over school locations) with candidates that face uncertainty about the location of the median voter. In particular both candidates believe the median, m is uniformly (a) First assume that the candidates care only about winning (obtain ing a payoff of 1 from a wifro a tie and 0 from losing). Find the Nash equilibria to this game. b) Now assume that the candidates care about policy and winning So candidate 1 obtains...

15.1: Tallying Votes Elections are a formal group-decision making process by which a population chooses a person to hold office, such as the mayor of a city. Another use of elections is to accept or reject a political proposition. Most election results are tallied, or counted, using electronic voting. Most electronic voting machines use a computer to take care of the chore of casting and counting votes. This Tuesday, November 6 (the date your assignment is due) is election day....

Question 1 According to the crash course video on political parties, why do political scientist feel that the primary process can lead to further party polarization (parties becoming less moderate)? a. Low voter turnout leads to partisan voters which leads to partisan candidates b. Primaries are held at different times around the country c. Low voter turnout leads to only elites voting and they pick their favorite candidates d. Only moderate voters vote in primaries Question 2 According to your...

Ranked choice voting is a system of tallying election
ballots that is used in many national and local elections
throughout the world. Instead of choosing a single candidate,
voters must rank the available candidates in the order of their
choice. For example, if three candidates are available, a
voter might choose #2, #1, and #3 as their choices, with #2 being
their first choice, #1 the second, and #3 the third.
The outcome is determined by a runoff, which follows...
