Application of an Asymmetric Banzhaf Power Index: The Case of the Czech Parliament
Original language description
In general, parliamentary voting can be described as a cooperative game with transferable utility function with political parties as agents of the game.

One of the widely used power indices - Banzhaf power index - also called Penrose-Banzhaf or Banzhaf-Coleman power index - is based on the concept of 'swing voters' in possible coalitions. The Banzhaf power index is derived from the assumption of random voting. However, real world results differ from theoretical assumptions. For exampleGelman, Katz and Bafumi (2004) and Gelman, Katz and Tuerlinckx (2002) have shown that the assumption is violated in large voting bodies. In order to fit real world conditions, adjustments of the index were done by Hu (2006), who proposed
