Communication and voting in heterogeneous committees : an experimental study
Thordal-Le Quement, Mark; Marcin, Isabel - 2016
We study experimentally the effectiveness of communication in common value committees exhibiting publicly known heterogeneous biases. We test models assuming respectively self-interested and strategic-, joint payoff-maximizing- and cognitively heterogeneous agents. These predict varying degrees...
