| Summary: | Aspects of total favouring of large or small
beneficiaries in proportional apportionments of
entities using linear divisor methods (LDM) are
discussed in the paper. In this aim, the requirements of apportionments compliance with
linear divisor methods’ solution were defined and
the conditions of LDM apportionments compliance with the requirements of total favouring
large or small beneficiaries were determined.
Subsequently, the A1 algorithm for determining
the LDM apportionments which totally favour
beneficiaries was elaborated. Using A1, calculations for three examples were performed, obtaining: a d’Hondt method’s apportionment which
totally favours large beneficiaries, a Sainte-Laguë
method’s apportionment which totally favours
large beneficiaries and a Dependent linear divisor
method’s apportionment which totally favors small
beneficiaries. Obtained results confirm the opportunity of using the algorithm A1 for the determining
of LDM apportionments which totally favour large
beneficiaries or, on the contrary, the small ones. |
