Imminent Nash Implementation∗

We introduce delay in simultaneous-move mechanisms. Delay is infinitesimal in equilibrium, hence the name: imminent implementation. We show that mechanisms with delay implement rules that are not implementable without delay in Nash equilibrium and its refinements. We obtain a version of the monotonicity condition that is necessary and sufficient for imminent implementability. If the domain incl...
