Costly information acquisition. Is it better to toss a coin?
This paper presents a strategic model of common value elections with endogenous information acquisition. It proves that majoritarian elections can fail to aggregate information when voters have heterogeneous skills. Informational inefficiencies can be partially corrected by improving the skills of the electors as the population increases, or by limiting participation to the most competent citiz...
متن کاملAuthorship: why not just toss a coin?
IF YOU ARE READING THIS COMMENTARY, the title probably irked your professional sensibilities. That's good. During 32 years of publishing, I've experienced two authorship disputes. Both of these problems have demonstrated to me that there is a disturbing and pervasive lack of understanding of what authorship on scientific papers means, of the responsibilities that it conveys, and of how it is de...
متن کاملAre prehospital stroke scales better than a coin toss at predicting acute stroke?
Acute therapy for ischemic stroke is exquisitely time sensitive. Patients treated within 90 minutes of symptom onset fare far better than patients treated beyond 90 minutes, with a 1.5 greater likelihood of ambulating independently at discharge, a 1.3 greater likelihood of discharge to home, and a 0.74 lower likelihood of dying in hospital. Yet only 1%–8% of all ischemic stroke patients are cur...
متن کاملDecisions by coin toss: Inappropriate but fair
In many situations of indeterminacy, where people agree that no decisive arguments favor one alternative to another, they are still strongly opposed to resolving the dilemma by a coin toss. The robustness of this judgment-decision discrepancy is demonstrated in several experiments, where factors like the importance of consequences, similarity of alternatives, conflicts of opinion, outcome certa...
متن کاملThe quantum coin toss — testing microphysical undecidability
A critical review of randomness criteria shows that no–go theorems severely restrict the validity of actual “proofs” of undecidability. It is suggested to test microphysical undecidability by physical processes with low extrinsic complexity, such as polarized laser light. The publication and distribution of a sequence of pointer readings generated by such methods is proposed. Unlike any pseudor...
