23 p, 255.4 KB On the weights of nations : assigning voting weights in a heterogeneous union / Barberà, Salvador, 1946- (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Jackson, Matthew O. (California Institute of Technology (Estats Units d'Amèrica))
We study indirect democracy in which countries, states, or districts each elect a representative who later votes at a union level on their behalf.

We analyze a mutual fire insurance mechanism used in Andorra, which is called La Crema in the local language.

honestly report the true value of their property. However, such honest reporting is not an equilibrium except in the extreme case in which the property values are identical for all households. Nevertheless, as the size of the society becomes large, the benefits from deviating from truthful reporting vanish, and all the nondegenerate equilibria of the mechanism are nearly truthful and approximately Pareto efficient.

Departament d'Economia i d'Història Econòmica) ; Jackson, Matthew O. (California Institute of Technology (Estats Units d'Amèrica)) ; Centre de Referència en Economia Analítica
