Holding Out for the Low Cap

Agenda Order and Sophisticated Voting in Committees Setting a Shared Pumping Cap

A research poster from the School of Underlying Conditions runs 30 five-member laboratory committees through the three amendment agendas a cyclic preference profile admits, finding that members cast 58–64% of the sophisticated votes backward induction requires when the options are lettered, but only 31% when the required vote is against a shared aquifer's low pumping cap, so that the high cap is adopted in 47% of late rounds against 13%.
