This week Bin Zhou is giving a talk on the game theory of voting design. Feel like democracy isn’t really working for you? Find out why! This talk is about the mathematical limits of voting systems from a game theoretic perspective. We look at what desirable properties you can demand from voting systems, such as respecting unanimous preferences and ignoring irrelevant options, and Arrow’s famous "Impossibility Theorem": any such voting system with more than 2 candidates is a dictatorship! When: Thursday 10th May, 1:00pm Where: Carslaw 351
