An experimental investigation of the calculus of consent
We conduct a laboratory experiment to investigate group decision-making, inspired by a model from Buchanan and Tullock’s The Calculus of Consent . Unlike previous researchers, we move beyond simple majority and unanimity rules, allowing groups to choose voting rules endogenously. The results of our experiment are consistent with the Buchanan–Tullock model. In particular, we confirm a tendency toward less restrictive voting rules when decision-mak…
High School History Textbooks and the Causes of the Great Depression
Years ago, it became established that the severity and length of the Great Depression were due largely to misguided Federal Reserve monetary policy and the resulting catastrophic bank failures. This result is confirmed by surveys of scholars in the area and books specifically written on economic history. Yet the leading textbooks used in high school US history fail to reflect these findings. The texts (1) tend to ignore the recognized causes of t…
Conflict on City Councils in Wisconsin
Community conflict has been the domain of social science researchers for decades. However, the systematic study of conflict on city councils has received scant attention in this literature. In this study the authors explore the extent to which conflict is present on city councils in Wisconsin communities with populations greater than 10,000. By using the literature on non-profit and local government boards, the authors develop a set of hypotheses…
