Mediators and Truthful Voting
The Gibbard-Satterthwaite Theorem asserts the impossibility of designing a non-dictatorial social choice function (SCF) under which agents can never benefit by lying, assuming complete information.

Indeed, we characterize families of SCFs w...

As regards of the necessity for ranking efficient units different DEA models presented each of which has advantages and rank efficient units from special aspects.

We consider the fundamental mechanism design problem of approximate social welfare maximization under general cardinal preferences on a finite number of alternatives and without money. The wellknown range voting scheme can be thought of as a non-truthful mechanism for exact social welfare maximization in this setting. With m being the number of alternatives, we exhibit a randomized truthfulin-e...
متن کاملElectoral Competition under Best-Worst Voting Rules
We characterise multi-candidate pure-strategy equilibria in the Hotelling-Downs spatial election model for the class of best-worst voting rules, in which each voter is endowed with both a positive and a negative vote, i.e., each voter can vote in favour of one candidate and against another one. The weights attached to positive and negative votes in calculating a candidate's net score may be dif...
