Robust Mechanism Design and Dominant Strategy Voting Rules
We develop an analysis of voting rules that is robust in the sense that we do not make any assumption regarding voters’ knowledge about each other. In dominant strategy voting rules, voters’ behavior can be predicted uniquely without making any such assumption. However, on full domains, the only dominant strategy voting rules are random dictatorships. We show that the designer of a voting rule ...
متن کاملOrdinal versus cardinal voting rules: A mechanism design approach
We consider the performance and incentive compatibility of voting rules in a Bayesian environment with independent private values and at least three alternatives. It is shown that every (ex-ante) Pareto efficient ordinal rule among neutral rules is incentive compatible under a symmetry assumption on alternatives. Furthermore, we prove that there exists an incentive compatible cardinal rule whic...
متن کاملStrategy-Proof Voting Rules over Restricted Domains
We have seen in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 that in some voting games, strategic behavior sometimes leads to extremely undesirable outcomes. Therefore, we may want to prevent voters’ strategic behavior. However, the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem tells us that for any voting rule that satisfies some natural properties, there must exist at least one voter who has an incentive to misreport her prefer...
متن کاملEfficient and strategy-proof voting rules: A characterization
The paper provides a characterization of all efficient and strategy-proof voting mechamisms on a large class of preference domains, the class of all generalized single-peaked domains. It is shown that a strategy-proof voting mechanism on such a domain is efficient if and only if it satisfies a weak neutrality condition and is either almost dictatorial, or defined on a median space of dimension ...
متن کاملReady for the design of voting rules?
The design of fair voting rules has been addressed quite often in the literature. Still, the so-called inverse problem is not entirely resolved. We summarize some achievements in this direction and formulate explicit open questions and conjectures.
