The paper analyzes the relation between opinions and vote, under the three systems. Compared to multi-vote rules, the single-vote system leads to voters' decisions that are more often strategic but also more often sincere. Sincere voting and strategic voting therefore appear to be more consistent than contradictory. Multi-vote rules allow the voter to express complex behavior, and the concepts of "sincere" and "strategic" voting are not always sufficient to render this complexity.

During this experiment, participants were asked to test several alternative voting methods to elect the French president, like scoring methods, instant-runoff voting, Borda with partial rankings. The experiment was both carried out <em>in situ</em> in polling stations during the first round of the presidential election (using paper ballots), and online during the month preceding the first round, and until the second round of the election (using a web application). A total of 6358 participants took part to the <em>in situ</em> experiment and 37739 participants took part to the online experiment. This dataset contains the answers provided by the participants to the online experiment, with no other processsing than a basic transformation to a set of CSV files. The companion paper available on this repository describes the experimental protocol, the format of the fil...

This paper compares evaluative voting with the two-round system, reporting on an experiment which used various evaluation scales, conducted during the first round of the 2012 French presidential election. Invitations to participate in the study were extended to around 5,000 voters in three cities, and the experiment attracted 2,340 participants. Basing our argument on the We extend grateful thanks to all the members of the Community Councils, all the participants, and all the volunteers who helped us on April 22. (See

Focusing on the historical influences between the diverse branches of normative economics, it presents an restricted yet articulated historical overview of the evolution of welfare economics through the XXth century. The paper confirms the distinction between three periods – the old welfare economics, the new welfare economics, the post-arrovian period – corresponding to the three successive news of the death of welfare economics. The new welfare economics is shown to be divided into the British approach, and the American approach. Post-arrovian developments are rich, yet maintained seperate. The paper claims that they however constitute the heritages of three distinct branches of the historical welfare economics. It is standard to say that the British school of the New Welfare Economics is at the origin of cost-b...
