Strategic voting in heterogeneous electorates: an experimental study

Tyszler, Marcelo; Schram, Arthur - In: Games 4 (2013) 4, pp. 624-647

We study strategic voting in a setting where voters choose from three options and Condorcet cycles may occur. We introduce in the electorate heterogeneity in preference intensity by allowing voters to differ in the extent to which they value the three options. Three information conditions are...

Examining monotonicity and saliency using level-k reasoning in a voting game

Bassi, Anna; Williams, Kenneth C. - In: Games 5 (2014) 1, pp. 26-52

. Furthermore, to postulate the effect of financial incentives on subjects' choice, we used the Quantal Response Equilibrium (QRE … are enough to induce equilibrium behavior, and the marginal effect of extra incentives on equilibrium behavior seems to be … negligible. High complexity, instead, decreases the rate of convergence to equilibrium play. With a sufficiently high complexity …
