Abstract

In a framework where experts or agents express their opinions in a dichotomous way, we analyze the cohesiveness of their opinions on a fixed set of issues in a population. A parametric family of related measures are introduced and axiomatically characterized. They are ordinally equivalent when the population is fixed, and some further properties are proved. In order to argue that this restricted dichotomous situation is nevertheless versatile, the paper ends with several empirical illustrations based on real forecasts (for the 2012 American presidential election) and elections (with real data from referenda in two countries and from elections in several scientific societies).

1
We appeal to the standard model where each person either qualifies or disqualifies each member of the collective. Ju (2013) refers to a more general domain condition that allows neutral opinions.
 
2
A partition of a set \(S\) is a collection of pairwise disjoint non-empty subsets of \(S\) whose union is \(S\).
 
3
This is the adapted version of the axiom with the same name in Alcalde and Vorsatz (2013) in the analysis of coherence in societies with linear orders.
 
4
Section 5.4 below refers to this case in more detail.

We do not intend to draw conclusions from these figures. It is known that the adequacy of AV for the choice of committees and of single candidates is different. For sophisticated voters as the members of these societies are, the expression of their opinions can easily be influenced by the type of election.
