A pragmatic method for evaluating election schemes through simulation
American Political Science Review, vol. 77, no. 1, 1983, pp. 123–141
Abstract
This article combines ideas from ethics, social choice, and political theory to develop a simulation method for assessing the desirability of different voting schemes in different situations. I use the method to evaluate six well-known election systems. My results are intuitive. I find that approval voting seems to be a good voting scheme for mass elections.
