Corruption in Committees : An Experimental Study of Information Aggregation through Voting
Morton, Rebecca - 2014
We investigate experimentally the effects of corrupt experts on information aggregation in committees. We find that non-experts … are significantly less likely to delegate through abstention when there is a probability that experts are corrupt. Such … decreased abstention when the probability of corrupt experts is low, actually increases information efficiency in committee …

Robust Information Aggregation Through Voting
Midjord, Rune - 2019
Numerous theoretical studies have shown that information aggregation through voting is fragile. We consider a model of information aggregation with vote-contingent payoffs and generically characterize voting behavior in large committees. We use this characterization to identify the set of...

Voting with public information
Liu, Shuo - 2017 - This version: June 2017
We study the effect of public information on collective decision-making in committees, where members can have both common and conflicting interests. In the presence of public information, the simple and efficient vote-your-signal strategy profile no longer constitutes an equilibrium under the...

This paper analyzes responsibility attributions for outcomes of collective decision making processes. In particular, we ask if decision makers are blamed for being pivotal if they implement an unpopular outcome in a sequential voting process. We conduct an experimental voting game in which...
