Abstract

We describe and analyze the voting process leading to the compromise achieved in the Weimar Flag Controversy. We also offer a simple theoretical model that attempts to capture the main forces at work. These forces are: (1) the addition of a compromise alternative that is located between the main ideological positions on the left and on the right; (2) the interdependence of preferences that makes the compromise salient; and (3) a voting process that gradually reveals and aggregates information. Finally, we compare the theoretical insights with the observed outcome.

就魏玛共和国国旗进行表决

我们描述并分析了导致魏玛旗帜之争达成妥协的投票过程。我们还提供了一个简单的理论模型，试图捕捉起作用的主要力量。这些力量是(1) 在左翼和右翼的主要意识形态立场之间增加了一个折中方案；(2) 各种偏好相互依存，使折中方案变得突出；(3) 投票过程逐渐揭示和汇总信息。最后，我们将理论见解与观察到的结果进行比较。
