Revisiting the connection between the no-show paradox and monotonicity

Abstract

We investigate the relation between monotonicity and the no-show paradox in voting rules. Although the literature has established their logical independence, we show, by presenting logical dependency results, that the two conditions are closer than a general logical independency result would suggest. Our analysis is made both under variable and fixed-size electorates. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
