Metric Distortion Under Public-Spirited Voting

23rd International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS'24)

We investigate the impact of public-spirited voting on the distortion in the metric framework. We employ the public-spirited model proposed by Flanigan et al. (EC’23) to model the public-spirited behavior of the agents and evaluate the distortion of different voting rules, including Plurality, Borda, Copeland, Veto, 𝑘-approval, and PluralityVeto.
