International Interactions, 1988
An important approach to understanding power seeks a generalized measure that can rank nation‐states from the most to the least powerful. Data‐oriented researchers have developed several such single‐ and multivariable, linear and nonlinear indices. The test of their usefulness varies with their intended purpose.

Power, Power Indices and Blocking Power: A Comment on Johnston
British Journal of Political Science, 1995R. J. Johnston produces two striking and counter-intuitive results on bargaining power in a European Union Council of Ministers expanded by the addition of the four states applying for entry in 1994. One is that the ‘big four’ member states, including the United Kingdom, have more power if the minority with power to block a proposal is set at 27 rather

Power indices and easier hard problems
Mathematical Systems Theory, 1990For a computational problem A let I(A) be the set of real numbers \(\{\alpha| A\in DTIME(2^{n\alpha})\}\). Define power-index(A) to be the greatest lower bound of I(A). The authors make the following satisfiability hypothesis: power-index(SAT)\(=1\), and use it to characterize the power index of many other NP-complete problems.

The weight of the share stock of a company may be described by power indices that quantify the possibility for each shareholder to get majority positions by coalitions with other shareholders. To study such indices allows us to build efficient models for forecasting, simulating, and regulating financial, political, and economic fields.

Sensitivity Analysis of a Priori Power Indices
2014Power index analysis is very important in all group decision making processes. There is no better way how to evaluate the power to act of a decision maker than a priori power index. The formal analysis of measuring sensitivity of the index are presented in the paper.

Discriminating Power of Five Plaque Indices
Journal of Periodontology, 1991Since plaque plays a major role in the development of periodontal inflammation, special attention is paid to its composition and quantity. Several indices have been designed for the quantification of the supragingival plaque. The aim of the present study was to compare the utility and discriminating power of five such plaque indices.

Using a power-knowledge framework, this volume critically investigates how major global indicators of legal governance are produced, disseminated and used, and to what effect. Original case studies include Freedom House's Freedom in the World indicator, the Global Reporting Initiative's structure for measuring and reporting on corporate social ...

Power Indices Applied to Portuguese Parliament
2011In this paper, we apply the following four power indices to the Portuguese Parliament: Shapley–Shubik index, Banzhaf index, Deegan–Packel index and Public Good Index. We also present the main notions related with simple games and discuss the features of each power index by means of their axiomatic characterizations.

Power, Cooperation Indices and Coalition Structures
2001The developments over a thirty-year time span in the study of power, especially voting power, are traced in this book, which provides an up-to-date overview of applications of n-person game theory to the study of power in multimember bodies. Other theories that shed light on power distribution (e.g. aggregation theory) are treated as well.

Power Indices in Spanning Connectivity Games
2009The Banzhaf index, Shapley-Shubik index and other voting power indices measure the importance of a player in a coalitional game. We consider a simple coalitional game called the spanning connectivity game (SCG) based on an undirected, unweighted multigraph, where edges are players.
