Title: Tentative and definite policy proposals in committees: An experimental study
Abstract: We experimentally study a two-stage legislative bargaining game with incomplete information, consisting of one proposer and two voters. While the proposer’s ideal policy and the default policy if the proposal is eventually rejected are common knowledge, the two voters’ ideal policies are private information. We study two different institutional arrangement: first-stage proposals can be either tentative (i.e., “straw polls”) or definite. The bargaining outcome depends crucially on the opportunity and type of communication. Observed proposals and voting are explained well by our comparative statics Perfect Bayesian predictions. However, proposers often do not exploit information in straw polls when the tentative proposal is accepted. Our results have important implications for the design of committee decision-making.
