It is assumed that individuals prefer this predicted value to be as close as possible to their true value (single-peaked preferences). Consistent with the theoretical literature, we show that subjects misrepresent their private information more when an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression is implemented than when the so-called resistant line (RL) estimator is employed. The latter extends the median voter theorem to the two-dimensional setting and belongs to the family of robust estimation techniques. In fact, we find that OLS involves serious biases but the RL estimation is empirically unbiased. Furthermore, subjects never earn less when the RL is applied. 000165862 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000165862 590__ $$a0.72$$b2014 000165862 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b192 / 331 = 0.58$$c2014$$dQ3$$eT2 000165862 591__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES, MATHEMATICAL METHODS$$b36 / 46 = 0.783$$c2014$$dQ4$$eT3 000165862 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000165862 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-7281-9523$$aPerote-Peña, Juan$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000165862 700__ $$aVorsatz, Marc 000165862 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
