When Do Noisy Votes Reveal the Truth?1
A well-studied approach to the design of voting rules views them as maximum likelihood estimators; given votes that are seen as noisy estimates of a true ranking of the alternatives, the rule must reconstruct the most likely true ranking. We argue that this is too stringent a requirement, and instead ask: How many votes does a voting rule need to reconstruct the true ranking? We define the fami...

متن کاملWhy Do Shareholder Votes Matter?
We show that majority-supported shareholder proposals create value not necessarily because their content has intrinsic value, but because they increase pressure on the board of directors. We document that shareholder organizations (CII), proxy advisory firms (ISS), and management often disagree about voting results because they apply different majority requirements in 60% of the cases. This all...
متن کاملAnnulonemertes (phylum Nemertea): when segments do not count
We estimated the phylogenetic position of the pseudosegmented ribbon worm Annulonemertes minusculus to test proposed evolutionary hypotheses to explain these body constrictions. The analysis is based on 18S rDNA sequences and shows that the species belongs to an apomorphic clade of hoplonemertean species. The segmentation has no phylogenetic bearing as previously discussed, but is a derived cha...
