Proportional Representation [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Politics, 1998
Using a recent article by Monroe as a springboard, we extend and generalize his system of proportional representation (PR) by developing a general method for determining a set of winners from the ballots. Central to our analysis is the use of integer programming, which is a type of linear programming. Under Monroe's system and our generalizations of it,

A Theory of Proportional Representation

SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 1990
Integer proportional sharing problems mainly arise in electoral studies: apportionment of seats among states, or repartition of seats among the candidate lists in a ballot. This problem of fair sharing has given rise to various mathematical studies. These studies, culminating in Balinski and Young’s Fair Representation, Meeting the Ideal of One Man ...

On proportional non-representation

Public Choice, 1994
This paper contends the main virtue conventionally attributed to proportional electoral rules (i.e., effective representation of political views). It discusses a number of shortcomings that lead too much proportionality to a self-defeat: it reduces vote mobility through the strong cultivation of voters' loyalties; it smooths out vote variations when ...

How proportional is proportional representation?

The Mathematical Intelligencer, 1986
In a very popular way the author discusses the problem of division of seats in some assembly between parties provided the number of votes received by these parties at the elections is known. The author shows why the proportional distribution is not adequate and discusses different quota methods, e.g. D'Hondt's rule, Droop quota etc.
