[经济学] 与唐纳德共舞：2016年总统选举中的极性 [推广有奖]

摘要翻译：
几乎在每个选举周期，美国选举团的有效性都受到质疑。2016年总统选举再次提出了候选人赢得普选但没有赢得选举团的问题，希拉里·克林顿获得的选票比唐纳德·特朗普多近300万张。然而，普选实际上决定了选举中最受欢迎的候选人吗？在本文中，我们证明了不同的投票策略可以改变哪个候选人当选。此外，我们还探讨了这些机制之间的权衡。最后，我们介绍了两种新的机制，目的是选出最小极化的候选人。

英文摘要：
  In almost every election cycle, the validity of the United States Electoral College is brought into question. The 2016 Presidential Election again brought up the issue of a candidate winning the popular vote but not winning the Electoral College, with Hillary Clinton receiving close to three million more votes than Donald Trump. However, did the popular vote actually determine the most liked candidate in the election? In this paper, we demonstrate that different voting policies can alter which candidate is elected. Additionally, we explore the trade-offs between each of these mechanisms. Finally, we introduce two novel mechanisms with the intent of electing the least polarizing candidate.
