Abstract in another language
Given a system where the real-valued states of the agents are aggregated by a function to a real-valued state of the entire system, we are interested in the influence of the different agents on that function. This generalizes the notion of power indices for binary voting systems to decisions over convex one-dimensional policy spaces and has applications in economics, engineering, security analysis, and other disciplines. Here, we provide a solid theoretical framework to study the question of influence in systems with convex decisions. Based on the classical Shapley-Shubik and Penrose-Banzhaf index, from binary voting, we develop two influence measures, whose properties then are analyzed. We present some results for parametric classes of aggregation functions.
