Our objective is to contribute to a theoretical and empirical understanding of the effects of alternative decision rules on group decision making. We will be especially interested in the comparison between unanimity rule and (simple of qualified) majority rules. Among other things, we are interested in the effects of these rules on the process and length of negotiations, as well as the efficiency of the resulting agreements. These considerations imply a tradeoff between the "decision costs" and the possible "external costs" associated with different rules. While unanimity rule is likely to be associated with high decision costs, other rules may lead to external costs. Our theoretical and experimental projects will investigate this tradeoff and produce new insights concerning the circumstances under which one or the other type of rule is likely to produce better overall results.

我们的目标是促进对备选决策规则对群体决策的影响的理论和实证理解。我们将特别感兴趣的是一致同意规则和（简单的）多数同意规则之间的比较。除其他事项外，我们感兴趣的是这些规则对谈判进程和长度的影响，以及由此产生的协议的效率。这些考虑意味着在“决策成本”和与不同规则相关的可能的“外部成本”之间进行权衡。虽然一致同意规则可能与高决策成本相关联，但其他规则可能导致外部成本。我们的理论和实验项目将研究这种权衡，并产生关于在哪种情况下一种或另一种类型的规则可能产生更好的总体结果的新见解。
