A new family of power indices for voting games

Abstract:
In this paper we introduce a new family of power indices, especially designed for voting games, based on three parameters. A suitable choice of the parameters allows better taking into account particular features of each real political situation. We propose an archetype of the family and analyze some possible settings of the parameters. We make also some comparisons with existing indices.
