Event ended
On May 18, 2026, Eric Maskin (Harvard University, HSE University) will speak on 'How to Improve Proportional Representation'.
Abstract:
Proportional representation is the most common method of electing parliaments in the world today. However, it suffers from a serious flaw. If no single party wins a majority of seats, the government must form from a coalition of parties, and yet that coalition might be very unpopular among citizens. I show how to correct that problem.
