Trading Votes for Votes . ∗ A Decentralized Matching
We study vote trading—trading of votes for votes—through the tools of the matching literature. Decentralized vote trading is modeled via an algorithm that executes a sequence of binding, myopic, strictly improving pair-wise trades. We show that with binary alternatives, an odd number of voters, and separable preferences, the sequence always converges to a stable vote allocation—a distribution o...
متن کاملTrading Votes for Votes: An Experimental Study∗
Trading votes for votes is believed to be ubiquitous in committees and legislatures, and yet we know very little of its properties.
