A Characterization of Equilibria in the Groves Ledyard Mechanism
In this paper, we characterize all interior and boundary equilibria of the Groves-Ledyard mechanism for a large class of economies and determine their stability properties. We show that the mechanism admits three types of equilibria: a symmetric, efficient stable interior equilibrium, a large set of asymmetric, efficient, unstable, interior equilibria, and a large set of asymmetric, inefficient...
متن کاملGeneralized Groves-Ledyard mechanisms
Groves and Ledyard (1977) construct a mechanism for public goods procurement that can be viewed as a direct-revelation Groves mechanism in which agents announce a parameter of a quadratic approximation of their true preferences. The mechanism’s Nash equilibrium outcomes are efficient. The budget is balanced because Groves mechanisms are balanced for the announced quadratic preferences. Tian (19...
متن کاملOn the Existence and Stability of Inefficient Boundary Equilibria in the Groves Ledyard Mechanism
In this paper, we characterize all interior and boundary equilibria of the GrovesLedyard mechanism for a large class of economies and demonstrate their stability or lack thereof. We prove that the mechanism implements large numbers of inefficient and stable boundary equilibria, one for each of the efficient, asymmetric, interior equilibria found by Bergstrom, Simon, and Titus (BST). We show tha...
متن کاملThe Existence and Stability of Equilibria in the Groves Ledyard Mechanism
In this paper, we describe all interior and boundary equilibria of the GrovesLedyard mechanism and test their stability. We provide closed form solutions for the equilibria discovered by Bergstrom, Simon, and Titus and show that these equilibria fail to exist when the punishment parameter is high. We further show that the Groves-Ledyard equilibrium is the unique stable interior equilibrium for ...
متن کاملThe Groves-Ledyard Mechanism: An Experimental Study of Institutional Design
The Groves-Ledyard mechanism theoretically can solve the \free-rider" problem in public good provision in certain environments. Two questions are of overriding importance in implementing the mechanism. The rst is related to the actual performance of the mechanism in general. The second is the choice of a \punishment parameter", , which is the only parameter that is available for those who may w...
