Parliamentary Voting Procedures in Comparison
Increasingly, scholars of legislative politics propose comparative analyses of parliamentary voting behavior across different countries and parliaments. Yet parliamentary voting procedures differ dramatically across parliamentary chambers and ignoring these differences may, in the extreme, lead to meaningless comparisons. In this paper we present a first glimpse at a comprehensive data collecti...
متن کاملVoting on Majority Rules∗
We analyze an overlapping generations model of voting on “reform projects”. These resemble investments in that they first require some investment expenditure and later pay off. Since the time during which old people get the benefit is shorter, or because older people are more wealthy and hence pay more taxes, they are more conservative (against reforms) than young people. We show that if people...

Examples for instantiations of this model include the step-wise refinement of a bill of law by means of amendments to be voted on, as well as resource allocation problems, where agents successiv...
متن کاملGeneralizing the majority voting scheme to conditional voting
In this paper we propose a new voting scheme for generalizing the classical majority voting system. In contrast to the classical voting method we can make good decision if the number of classifiers assigning the correct class label is less than the half of the overall number of classifiers. This new method can be applied to such problems when the decision is not only logical but is also require...
