Popis: This chapter is a companion paper of Barthelemy et al. (2019) which studies the role of the quota on the occurrence of “dummy” players in small weighted voting games (i.e., in voting games with 3, 4 or 5 players). We here extend the results obtained in this paper by considering voting games with a larger number of players (up to 15). It is shown that the probability of having a player without voting power is very sensitive to the choice of the quota and the quota values that minimize this probability are derived.
