Resumen

Consensus means general agreement among possibly different views, while dichotomus voting rules are a means of making decisions by using votes to settle differences of view. How then can it often be the case that a committee whose only formal mechanism for decision-making is a dichotomus voting rule reaches a consensus? In this paper, based on a game-theoretic model developed in three previous papers, we provide an answer to this question.
