Majority-Rule Bargaining and the Under Provision of Public Investment Goods

Leblanc, William; Snyder, James M.; Tripathi, Micky - 2001

Despite evidence that modern democracies systematically shortchange public investment goods, relatively little theoretical work exists to explain this phenomenon. We build on Baron and Ferejohn's (American Political Science Review, 83(4) (1989) 1181--1206) bargaining model to describe public...

different voting rules when there is the opportunity of logrolling. We have carried out 3 experiments and compare our findings … with the standard public choice theory predictions.

An Experimental Study of Voting with Costly Delay

Kwiek, Maksymilian - 2015

A conclave is a voting mechanism in which a committee selects an alternative by voting until a sufficient supermajority is reached. We study experimentally welfare properties of simple three-voter conclaves with privately known preferences over two outcomes and waiting costs. The resulting game...

Self-Organization for Collective Action : An Experimental Study of Voting on Formal, Informal, and No Sanction Regimes

Markussen, Thomas - 2011

Entrusting the power to punish to a central authority is a hallmark of civilization. We study a collective action dilemma in which self‐interest should produce a sub‐optimal outcome absent sanctions for non‐cooperation. We then test experimentally whether subjects make the theoretically...

The unanimity rule and extremely asymmetric committees

Ben-Yashar, Ruth; Danziger, Leif - 2016

This paper analyzes how to allocate experts into committees that use the unanimity rule to make decisions. We show that an optimal allocation of experts is extremely asymmetric. To reach the optimal allocation, therefore, one needs only to rank the experts in terms of their abilities and then...
