weighted majority game
Definition
- A weighted majority game is a simple game in which each player can be assigned some numerical weight, and a numerical quota can be fixed, such that a coalition is winning if and only if the total weight of its members equals or exceeds the quota. The concept is useful for analyzing how voting power is shared among members of an assembly on the basis of possible coalitions that may be formed between them.
