A dual characterization of incentive efficiency
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that incentive efficient allocations in economies with adverse selection and moral hazard can be determined as optimal solutions to a linear programming problem and we use duality theory to obtain a complete characterization of the optima. Our dual analysis identifies welfare effects associated with the incentives of the agents to truthfully reveal their private information. Because these welfare effects may generate non-convexities, incentive efficient allocations may involve randomization. Other properties of incentive efficient allocations are also derived.

A characterization of L-dual frames and L-dual Riesz bases
This paper is an investigation of $L$-dual frames with respect to a function-valued inner product, the so called $L$-bracket product on $L^{2}(G)$, where G is a locally compact abelian group with a uniform lattice $L$. We show that several well known theorems for dual frames and dual Riesz bases in a Hilbert space remain valid for $L$-dual frames and $L$-dual Riesz bases in $L^{2}(G)$.
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of novel dual UV/thermal curable epoxy rosinate
Rosin has a comprehensive application in adhesives, printing inks, protective coatings, rubbers and pharmaceutical. In this work, novel dual UV/thermal curable epoxy rosinate was synthesized by esterification reaction between epoxy resin and purified rosin. This product was evaluated by FT-IR spectroscopy techniques and acid number. UV curable resin was formulated for UV curing ability by benzo...
متن کاملOn the Interplay between Incentive Compatibility and Envy Freeness
We study mechanisms for an allocation of goods among agents, where agents have no incentive to lie about their true values (incentive compatible) and for which no agent will seek to exchange outcomes with another (envy-free). Mechanisms satisfying each requirement separately have been studied extensively, but there are few results on mechanisms achieving both. We are interested in those allocat...
متن کامل$G$-dual Frames in Hilbert $C^{*}$-module Spaces
In this paper, we introduce the concept of $g$-dual frames for Hilbert $C^{*}$-modules, and then the properties and stability results of $g$-dual frames are given. A characterization of $g$-dual frames, approximately dual frames and dual frames of a given frame is established. We also give some examples to show that the characterization of $g$-dual frames for Riesz bases in Hilbert spaces is ...
متن کاملBalanced Trade Reduction for Dual-Role Exchange Markets
We consider dual-role exchange markets, where traders can offer to both buy and sell the same commodity in the exchange but, if they transact, they can only be either a buyer or a seller, which is determined by the market mechanism. To design desirable mechanisms for such exchanges, we show that existing solutions may not be incentive compatible, and more importantly, cause the market maker to ...
