摘要

本文评估了三种著名的投票系统：多数决制（MR）、博尔达决制（BR）和复数决制（PR）。我们分析的重点是每种投票系统可能违反两个基本原则的可能性：尊重多数人的偏好（多数主义）和承认个人偏好的强度。我们将 "成本 "概念具体化为对上述原则的预期偏离。我们从成本的角度对 MR、BR 和 PR 进行了比较评估。我们的研究结果强调了 PR 优于 MR，同时也突出了 MR 相对于 BR 的比较优势。

Balancing democracy: majoritarianism versus expression of preference intensity

This paper evaluates three prominent voting systems: the Majority Rule (MR), Borda Rule (BR), and Plurality Rule (PR). Our analysis centers on the susceptibilities of each system to potential transgressions of two foundational principles: the respect for majority preference (majoritarianism) and the acknowledgment of the intensity of individual preferences. We operationalize the concept of 'cost' as the expected deviation from the aforementioned principles. A comparative assessment of MR, BR, and PR is undertaken in terms of their costs. Our findings underscore the superiority of PR over MR, whilst also highlighting the comparative advantage of MR against BR.

期刊介绍： Public Choice deals with the intersection between economics and political science. The journal was founded at a time when economists and political scientists became interested in the application of essentially economic methods to problems normally dealt with by political scientists. It has always retained strong traces of economic methodology, but new and fruitful techniques have been developed which are not recognizable by economists. Public Choice therefore remains central in its chosen role of introducing the two groups to each other, and allowing them to explain themselves through the medium of its pages.
