Abstract

The Majoritarian Compromise proposal, aside from its substantive merits, provides an opportunity to illustrate various aspects of mechanism and institution design, and, in particular, to clarify the concepts used in the analysis of design. Many of these concepts also underlie models used in economic analysis. What follows is an outline of some of the issues.
