Securely implementable social choice rules with partially honest agents

نویسنده

  • Alejandro Saporiti
چکیده

We define secure implementation with partially honest agents in a social choice model and we show that strategy-proofness is a necessary and sufficient condition for it. This result offers a behavioral foundation for rectangularity ; and it remains valid even with only one partially honest agent. We apply the concept to a single-crossing voting environment, and we prove that it characterizes the family of augmented representative voter schemes. JEL Codes: C72, D03, D71, D82. Key-words: Secure implementation; partial honesty; strategy-proofness; singlecrossing preferences; representative (median) voter.

Partially-honest Nash implementation: a full characterization

A partially-honest individual is a person who follows the maxim, "Do not lie if you do not have to" to serve your material interest. By assuming that the mechanism designer knows that there is at least one partially-honest individual in a society of n ≥ 3 individuals, a social choice rule (SCR) that can be Nash implemented is termed partially-honestly Nash implementable. The paper o§ers a compl...

Nash implementation with partially honest individuals

We investigate the problem of Nash implementation in the presence of “partially honest” individuals. A partially honest player is one who has a strict preference for revealing the true state over lying when truthtelling does not lead to a worse outcome (according to preferences in the true state) than that which obtains when lying. We show that when there are at least three individuals, the pre...

On combining implementable social choice rules

We study if (and when) the intersections and unions of social choice rules that are implementable with respect to a certain equilibrium concept are themselves implementable with respect to that equilibrium concept. While the results for dominant strategy equilibrium are mostly of negative nature, the situation is di¤erent in the case of Nash implementation. We …nd that the union of any set of N...

Nash implementation via hyperfunctions

Hyperfunctions are social choice rules which assign sets of alternatives to preference profiles over sets. So, they are more general objects compared to standard (social choice) correspondences. Thus every correspondence can be expressed in terms of an equivalent hyperfunction. We postulate the equivalence between implementing a correspondence and its equivalent hyperfunction. We give a partial...

Maskin-monotonic scoring rules

We characterize which scoring rules are Maskin-monotonic for each social choice problem as a function of the number of agents and the number of alternatives. We show that a scoring rule is Maskin-monotonic if and only if it satisfies a certain unanimity condition. Since scoring rules are neutral, Maskin-monotonicity turns out to be equivalent to Nash-implementability within the class of scoring...
