Overview: Qualitative Voting is an alternative to the Majority Rule that endows agents with a certain number of votes that can be freely distributed between a set of issues that have to be approved or dismissed. In Conflict Resolution situations where two parties with opposed preferences need to decide over their discerning views, Qualitative voting allows agents to trade off their voting power across issues and extract gains from their differing relative intensities. The appealing properties of such voting system may be overcome by the strategic interactions among individuals. In this paper we test its properties using controlled laboratory experiments. We observe that agents learn to play equilibrium and reach the welfare predicted by the theory.
