政治问题和可选择结果的欧几里得表示，以及与之相关的偏好作为准凹效用函数的表示，现在已经成为委员会和选举的正式模型的主要内容。此外，这种理论的发展还伴随着大量的实验研究。我们可以从两个方面来看待这一研究：一是在特定的制度环境中检验关于均衡的基本命题，二是试图深入了解政治过程中那些理解不深或模型不完善的方面，比如理论结果在程序细节和谈判环境方面的稳健性。这篇文章回顾了这项研究，以便我们能够对它的整体意义有所了解。
The Euclidean representation of political issues and alternative outcomes, and the associated representation of preferences as quasiconcave utility functions, is by now a staple of formal models of committees and elections. This theoretical development, moreover, is accompanied by a considerable body of experimental research. We can view that research in two ways: as a test of the basic propositions about equilibria in specific institutional settings, and as an attempt to gain insights into those aspects of political processes that are poorly understood or imperfectly modeled, such as the robustness of theoretical results with respect to procedural details and bargaining environments. This essay reviews that research so that we can gain some sense of its overall import.
