The case for approval voting
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 34 - Trang 335-345 - 2022
Citizens in many US states and cities in recent years have pushed for various reforms of voting methods. This raises the important question of which reform will best meet both normative and practical goals of representative democracy. While also evaluating criticisms of it, we make the case in this article that approval voting is the simplest actionable response. More specifically, we argue that a......
Classification of preferential ballot voting methods
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 34 - Trang 510-523 - 2022
We examine 17 preferential ballot voting methods using three criteria: (1) mathematical properties, (2) game-theoretic considerations, and (3) practical real-world outcomes. The challenge of comparing and contrasting the real-world outcomes of different voting methods is the sheer number of possible elections that can exist. We combat this challenge by introducing a new way of visualizing outcomes......
Calhoun’s concurrent majority as a generality norm

Some thoughts about referendums, representative democracy, and separation of powers
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 20 - Trang 251-266 - 2008
Referendums have experienced some sort of a comeback. Citizen involvement in political decisions is seen increasingly as a healthy add-on in democratic polities. While earlier writers on democratic theory often saw a danger in increased participation of citizens, more recently several authors suggest that this participation should be fostered. I argue in this paper that both sides in the debate ne......
A constitutional theory of public enterprise
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 5 - Trang 287-306 - 1994
This article rationalizes public enterprise by analyzing the constitutional choice between private and public ownership of production arrangements. Arguing that results depend on who does the choosing, the article compares choices by self-governing citizens with choices by self-directed governmental officials. The resulting institutional theory identifies four conditions that cause citizens to fav......

Consistent planning, backwards induction, and rule-governed behavior
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 7 - Trang 35-48 - 1996
This paper argues that with regard to sequential choice problems the set of assumptions that are necessary for the process of planning to be logically consistent may make the notion of rational dynamic consistency an unacceptable prescription for choice. In this sense, motivational limits to rationality may arise, adding to the inability of making consistent plans an unwillingness to engage in pla......
