چکیده
We correct a bound in the definition of approximate truthfulness used body paper Jackson and Sonnenschein (2007). The proof their main theorem uses different permutation-based definition, implicitly claiming that permutation-version implies bound-based version. show this claim holds only if is loosened. new still strong enough to guarantee fraction lies vanishes as number problems grows, so stated once

Overcoming Incentive Constraints by Linking Decisions
Consider a Bayesian collective decision problem in which the preferences of agents are private information. We provide a general demonstration that the utility costs associated with incentive constraints become negligible when the decision problem is linked with a large number of independent copies of itself. This is established by defining a mechanism in which agents must budget their represen...

متن کاملOvercoming Incentive Constraints
Consider an arbitrary Bayesian decision problem in which the preferences of each agent are private information. We prove that the utility costs associated with incentive constraints typically decrease when the decision problem is linked with independent copies of itself. This is established by first defining a mechanism in which agents must budget their representations of preferences so that th...
متن کاملLinking Quality Attributes and Constraints with Architectural Decisions
Quality attributes and constraints are among the main drivers of architectural decision making. The quality attributes are improved or damaged by the architectural decisions, while restrictions directly include or exclude parts of the architecture (for example, the logical components or technologies). We can determine the impact of a decision of architecture in software quality, or which parts ...
متن کاملFreedom and Probability: A Comment on Goodin and Jackson
In a recent article, Robert E. Goodin and Frank Jackson offer a brisk outline and assessment of the ‘basic positions’ on the question of how to advance freedom: in particular, how to advance the freedom of human beings in relation to one another rather than in relation to natural impediments. According to their outline, there are three available strategies for advancing the cause of freedom, wh...
