Solution
Total no. of votes = 58+36+20 = 114
Minimum number of votes required for approval of proposal = 114 / 2 +1 = 58
Let, P1, P2 & P3 are Kristen, Dave & Karrett respectively.
4.
This weighted voting system is represented mathematically as {58 : 58, 36, 20}
a) Shapley-Shubik Index:
List of possible sequential coalation is as below:
{P1 , P2 , P3}
{P1 , P3 , P2}
{P2 , P1 , P3}
{P2 , P3 , P1}
{P3 , P1 , P2}
{P3 , P2 , P1}
In each of these N! sequential coalitions, the pivotal player is determined as below:
{P1 , P2 , P3} = 58
{P1 , P3 , P2} = 58
{P2 , P1 , P3} = 36 + 58 = 94
{P2 , P3 , P1} = 36 + 20 + 58 = 114
{P3 , P1 , P2} = 20 + 58 = 78
{P3 , P2 , P1} = 20 + 36 + 58 = 114
In all the 6 sequential coaltion, P1 is only pivotal.
Thus, Shapley-Shubik Index for Kristen = 6/6 =1 for Dave = 0 & for Garrett = 0
b) Banzhaf Index:
There are total 7 possible coalations. Out of which winning coalations are:
{P1} = 58
{P1, P2} = 58+36
{P1, P3} = 58 + 20
{P1, P2, P3} = 58 + 36 + 20.
In all the above mentioned winning coaltions, P1 is pivotal, as if P1 leaves the coalation losses.
Thus, total number of times all shareholders are critical = 4
No. of times P1 is critical = 4 and P2 & P3 are critical for 0 times.
Thus, Banzhaf Index for Kristen = 4/4 =1 for Dave = 0 & for Garrett = 0
5.
This weighted voting system is represented mathematically as {58 : 57, 37, 20}
a) Shapley-Shubik Index:
List of possible sequential coalation is as below:
{P1 , P2 , P3}
{P1 , P3 , P2}
{P2 , P1 , P3}
{P2 , P3 , P1}
{P3 , P1 , P2}
{P3 , P2 , P1}
In each of these N! sequential coalitions, the pivotal player is determined as below:
{P1 , P2 , P3} = 57 + 37 = 94
{P1 , P3 , P2} = 57 + 20 = 77
{P2 , P1 , P3} = 37 + 57 = 94
{P2 , P3 , P1} = 37 + 20 + 57 = 114
{P3 , P1 , P2} = 20 + 57 = 77
{P3 , P2 , P1} = 20 + 37 + 57 = 114
In the above mentioned 6 sequential coaltion, P1 is pivotal 4 times, P2 1 times and P3 1 times.
Thus, Shapley-Shubik Index for Kristen = 4/6 = 2/3 for Dave = 1/6 & for Garrett = 1/6
b) Banzhaf Index:
There are total 7 possible coalations. Out of which winning coalations are:
{P1, P2} = 57+37 = 94
{P1, P3} = 57 + 20 = 77
{P1, P2, P3} = 57 + 37 + 20 = 114
The critical players in above coaltions, i.e. if that player leaves the coalation losses, is underlined.
Thus, total number of times all shareholders are critical = 5
No. of times P1 is critical = 3, P2 = 1 and P3 = 1.
Thus, Banzhaf Index for Kristen = 3/5 for Dave = 1/5 & for Garrett = 1/5
6.
This weighted voting system is represented mathematically as {58 : 56, 37, 21}
a) Shapley-Shubik Index:
List of possible sequential coalation is as below:
{P1 , P2 , P3}
{P1 , P3 , P2}
{P2 , P1 , P3}
{P2 , P3 , P1}
{P3 , P1 , P2}
{P3 , P2 , P1}
In each of these N! sequential coalitions, the pivotal player is determined as below:
{P1 , P2 , P3} = 56 + 37 = 93
{P1 , P3 , P2} = 56 + 21 = 77
{P2 , P1 , P3} = 37 + 56 = 93
{P2 , P3 , P1} = 37 + 21 = 58
{P3 , P1 , P2} = 21 + 56 = 77
{P3 , P2 , P1} = 21 + 37 = 58
In the above mentioned 6 sequential coaltion, P1 is pivotal 2 times, P2 2 times and P3 2 times.
Thus, Shapley-Shubik Index for Kristen = 2/6 = 1/3 for Dave = 2/6 = 1/3 & for Garrett = 2/6 = 1/3
b) Banzhaf Index:
There are total 7 possible coalations. Out of which winning coalations are:
{P1, P2} = 56+37 = 93
{P1, P3} = 56 + 21 = 77
{P2, P3} = 37 + 21 = 58
{P1, P2, P3} = 56 + 37 + 21 = 114
The critical players in above coaltions, i.e. if that player leaves the coalation losses, is underlined.
Thus, total number of times all shareholders are critical = 6
No. of times P1 is critical = 2/6 = 1/3, P2 = 2/6 = 1/3 and P3 = 2/6 = 1/3.
Thus, Banzhaf Index for Kristen = 3/5 =1 for Dave = 1/5 & for Garrett = 1/5
