Book ChapterDOI
Deliberation and Voting Rules
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze a formal model of decision-making by a deliberative committee and compare equilibrium properties under majority and unanimity voting rules, paying particular attention to the character of debate and quality of the decision in each instance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategic transmission of costly information
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that if the receiver can observe surely-or, at least, accurately infer-whether the sender is informed, and so long as messages are cheap-talk, there is no issue here for strategic information transmission (save whether to become informed at all).
Journal ArticleDOI
