Probabilistic Majority Rule
讨论了一种投票程序，该程序在无法就单一提案达成共识时，以概率方式将委员会结果与各选项的得票数挂钩，对解决配置效率和再分配决策都具有吸引力。
Much of the public choice literature emphasizes the importance of separating allocative efficiency decisions from redistribution, and the likely appropriateness of different voting rules for each type of decision. Yet legislatures and parliaments the world over routinely consider both types of decisions using the same procedures and voting rule, typically a variant on the simple majority rule. This paper discusses a voting procedure that has attractive properties for resolving both allocative efficiency and redistribution decisions. The decision rule makes the outcomes of a committee dependent in a probabilistic way on the votes cast for each alternative, when consensus on a single proposal is not possible.
