比例选举的比例和普遍性
Scaling and universality in proportional elections
摘要：
过去几年最有争议的话题是简单的统计物理模型是否可以解释社会动力学的集体特征。在这方面的努力中，一个必要的步骤是找到涉及大规模社会现象的数据，如规模和普遍性。我们表明，在比例选举中，候选人获得的选票数的分布是一个普遍的尺度函数，在不同的国家和年份相同。这一发现揭示了存在于投票过程中的一般微观动态，不依赖于选民操作的历史，政治和/或经济背景。选民行为的一个简单的动力学模型，类似于一个分支过程，再现了普适分布。
英文摘要：
A most debated topic of the last years is whether simple statistical physics models can explain collective features of social dynamics. A necessary step in this line of endeavour is to find regularities in data referring to large scale social phenomena, such as scaling and universality. We show that, in proportional elections, the distribution of the number of votes received by candidates is a universal scaling function, identical in different countries and years. This finding reveals the existence in the voting process of a general microscopic dynamics that does not depend on the historical, political and/or economical context where voters operate. A simple dynamical model for the behaviour of voters, similar to a branching process, reproduces the universal distribution.
