Abstract
⺠The Zero-Inflated Ordered Probit model of Harris and Zhou (2007) is generalized. ⺠The choice spectrum is dominated by one outcome, irrespective of its position. ⺠The model is applied to the voting behavior of Bank of England MPC members. ⺠No change decisions derive from two distinct data generating processes. ⺠Inflation forecast uncertainty is shown to temper voting decisions to change rates.
