We develop a definition of equilibrium for agenda formation in general voting settings. The definition is independent … of any protocol. We show that the set of equilibrium outcomes for any Pareto efficient voting rule is uniquely determined …, and in fact coincides with that of the outcomes generated by considering all full agendas. Under voting by successive …

We study the properties of decisions made by committees who select alternatives by constructing shortlists. We find … that even when committees are themselves rational, such procedures may not give rise to rational choices. A necessary … condition for this to occur is disagreement between committees. However, we delimit substantially the extent of `irrationality …
