The finagle point and the epsilon-core: A comment on Bräuninger's proof
Tovey, Craig A - In: Journal of Theoretical Politics 23 (2011) 1, pp. 135-139
The finagle point, the epsilon-core, and the yolk are all predictors of majority-rule decision-making in spatial voting … within the epsilon core. This article shows that the finagle radius is sandwiched in between the epsilon-core and yolk radii …. Brauninger showed that the finagle radius is never smaller than the epsilon-core radius, and claimed that the finagle point is …

Ideology and Existence of 50%-Majority Equilibria in Multidimensional Spatial Voting Models
Crès, Hervé; Ünver, M. Utku - In: Journal of Theoretical Politics 22 (2010) 4, pp. 431-444
When aggregating individual preferences through the majority rule in an n-dimensional spatial voting model, the ‘worst-case’ scenario is a social choice configuration where no political equilibrium exists unless a super-majority rate as high as 1 — 1/(n+1) is adopted. In this...

Power Measurement as Sensitivity Analysis
Napel, Stefan; Widgren, Mika - In: Journal of Theoretical Politics 16 (2004) 4, pp. 517-538
This paper proposes a unified framework that integrates the traditional index-based approach and the competing non-cooperative approach to power analysis. It rests on a quantifiable notion of ex post power as the (counter-factual) sensitivity of the expected or observed outcome to individual...

Theoretical vs. empirical power indices: Do preferences matter?
Badinger, Harald; Mühlböck, Monika; Nindl, Elisabeth; … - In: European Journal of Political Economy 36 (2014) C, pp. 158-176
This paper investigates whether preference-based (empirical) power indices differ significantly from their preference-free (theoretical) counterparts. Drawing on the most comprehensive sample of EU Council votes to date (1993–2011), we use item-response models to estimate the EU27 member...
