Objective
The goal of this conference is to bring together scholars in Finance, Economics, and Political Economy that study voting with the hope of fostering a deeper understanding of incentives and the degree to which voting effectively aggregates information and/or preferences in a broad set of domains. One goal is to stimulate conversations – and possibly collaborations – that cross disciplinary boundaries.
