Tightness of voter model interfaces

open access: yesElectronic Communications in Probability, 2008
Consider a long-range, one-dimensional voter model started with all zeroes on the negative integers and all ones on the positive integers. If the process obtained by identifying states that are translations of each other is positively recurrent, then it ...

A Model of Primary Voter Behavior

Journal of Consumer Research, 1985
This article develops and tests a model of voter behavior in a primary election. The model integrates several schools of thought that have tried to explain voter behavior; it is tested by predicting the behavior of respondents based on the model, and then validating the results with the actual behavior of the respondents.

Dynamics of a Repulsive Voter Model

IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems, 2015
In contrast to most conventional social interaction models, in this paper, the dynamics of repulsive interactions between the nodes of a network is investigated. Such a model may be considered to be a first-order approximation of many anticonformal social policies, such as drivers making lane-changing decisions when confronted with other cars in the ...

The median voter model

2008
Most analytical work in public choice is based upon relatively simple models of majority decision making. These models are widely used even though the researchers know that real political settings are more complex than the models seem to imply. The use of such simple models can be defended for a variety of reasons: First, simple models allow knowledge ...

A Median Voter Model of Social Security

International Economic Review, 1989
This paper presents a theoretical median voter analysis of the determination of the level of social security. The framework for the analysis is a continuous-time overlapping-generations model with non- altruistic households facing borrowing constraints in the capital market.

The voter model

2017
As in the Wright–Fisher and Moran models, the two configurations in which all the individuals have the same type or share the same opinion are absorbing states for the voter model. However, at least starting with infinitely many individuals of each type, the time to fixation to one of these absorbing states is almost surely infinite, which allows for ...

The Voter Model

1985
The voter model is the spin system with rates c(x,η) given by $$ c(x,\eta ) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\sum\limits_y {p(x,y)\eta (y)} } & {if{\text{ }}\eta (x) = 0,} \\ {\sum\limits_y {p(x,y)[1 - \eta (y)]} } & {f{\text{ }}\eta (x) = 1,} \\ \end{array} } \right.
