Abstract

A local referendum was held in Kodaira City, Tokyo on 26 May 2013, but the voting box remained sealed. This was because the voter turnout did not reach the 50% threshold for opening the box. Based on the Rousseauian view on voting, we argue that this hurdle is unjustifiable and further question the adequacy of the local referendum even without such a hurdle. Finally, we examine the use of economic mechanisms for this type of collective choice instead of voting.

2013年5月26日，东京小平市举行了一次地方公投，但投票箱仍然密封。这是因为投票率没有达到开启投票箱的50%的门槛。基于卢梭对投票的观点，我们认为这种障碍是不合理的，并进一步质疑即使没有这种障碍，地方公投的充分性。最后，我们考察了这种集体选择而不是投票的经济机制的使用。

期刊介绍： Started in 1950 by a group of leading Japanese economists under the title The Economic Studies Quarterly, the journal became the official publication of the Japanese Economic Association in 1959. As its successor, The Japanese Economic Review has become the Japanese counterpart of The American Economic Review, publishing substantial economic analysis of the highest quality across the whole field of economics from researchers both within and outside Japan. It also welcomes innovative and thought-provoking contributions with strong relevance to real economic issues, whether political, theoretical or policy-oriented.
