Banks' research on this subject. It examines the strategic aspects of political decision-making, including the choices of voters in committees, the positioning of candidates in electoral campaigns, and the behavior of parties in legislatures. The chapters of this book contribute to the theory of voting with incomplete information, to the literature on Downsian and probabilisitc voting models of elections, to the theory of social choice in distributive environments, and to the theory of optimal dynamic decision-making. The essays employ a spectrum of research methods, from game-theoretic analysis, to empirical investigation, to experimental testing."--Jacket Analysis economie economics bedrijfswetenschap management science economische theorie economic theory speltheorie game theory wiskunde mathematics Management studies, Business Administration, Organizational Science (General) Economics (General) Management, bedrijfskunde, organisatiekunde (algemeen) Economie (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record In Springer e-books Subject Political science -- Methodology Political science -- Decision making.
