Abstract

The panel seeks to bring together diverse scholarship on the relationship between seats and votes in proportional and mixed electoral systems, and particularly its dependence on the systemic parameters such as district magnitude and artificial thresholds. The participants seek to estimate regular patterns of seats-votes relationships under different PR formulas; to investigate the factors that cause deviations from those patterns; to analyze the interaction between electoral parameters (particularly the district magnitude) and the number of relevant parties, seeking more precise quantitative models for predicting the latter; and to estimate the possibilities, risks, and effects of electoral engineering and coalition formation.
