Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the results of experiments relating to voting methods based on the bounded rationality theory. The research demonstrated that a positive nudge changes the voting results. The study focused on three methods of voting: the Borda Count method, the Condorcet winner method and the anti-manipulation method. In a laboratory experiment, the subjects were asked to select the best musician. They were to manipulate their voting so that a predetermined winner is chosen. In the first voting, the subjects did not receive any a priori information, while in the second voting, some a priori information was provided, i.e. the true, objective ranking of the musicians. What followed was another voting. It was initially assumed that the participants would manipulate their voting the same way as in the first voting. The results, however, were different. The obtained second ranking of musicians was closest to the true, objective ranking, thus proving that the manipulation effect was neutralised by the a priori positive information about the true, objective order.
先验的正面信息对投票结果的影响
本文的目的是介绍基于有限理性理论的投票方法的实验结果。研究表明,积极的推动会改变投票结果。研究重点是三种投票方法:博尔达计数法、孔多塞赢家法和反操纵法。在一项实验室实验中,研究对象被要求选出最好的音乐家。他们要操纵投票,这样就会选出一个预定的获胜者。在第一次投票中,受试者没有获得任何先验信息,而在第二次投票中,受试者提供了一些先验信息,即音乐家的真实、客观的排名。接下来是另一场投票。最初假设参与者会像第一次投票一样操纵他们的投票。然而,结果却不同。获得的音乐家的第二排名最接近真实的、客观的排名,从而证明操纵效应被关于真实的、客观的顺序的先验积极信息所中和。
