Implementation in Economies with Non-Convex Production
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of incentive mechanism design in non-convex production economies when production sets and preferences both are unknown to the designer. We consider Nash-implementation of loss-free, average cost, marginal cost, voluntary trading, and quantity-taking pricing equilibrium allocations in economies involving increasing returns to scale or more general types of non-convexities. The mechanisms presented in the paper are well-behaved. They are feasible, continuous, and use finite dimensional message spaces. Moreover, the mechanisms work not only for three or more agents, but also for two-agent economies. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Number: C72, D51, D61, D71.

Implementation in economies with non-convex production technologies unknown to the designer
This paper deals with the problem of incentive mechanism design in non-convex production economies when production sets and preferences both are unknown to the designer. We consider Nash-implementation of loss-free, average cost, marginal cost, voluntary trading, and quantity-taking pricing equilibrium allocations in economies involving increasing returns to scale or more general types of non-c...
متن کاملImplementation of Marginal Cost Pricing Equilibrium Allocations with Transfers in Economies with Increasing Returns to Scale
This paper considers implementation of marginal cost pricing equilibrium allocations with transfers for production economies with increasing returns to scale. We present a mechanism whose Nash equilibrium allocations coincide with the set of marginal cost pricing equilibrium allocations with transfers that characterizes Pareto efficient allocations for economies with non-convex production techn...
متن کاملOn the Informational Requirements of Decentralized Pareto-Satisfactory Mechanisms in Economies with Increasing Returns
This paper investigates the dimension requirements of informationally decentralized Paretosatisfactory processes in production economies with increasing returns to scale or more general types of non-convexities. We show that the marginal cost pricing (MCP) mechanism is informationally efficient over the class of non-convex production economies where MCP equilibrium allocations are Pareto effici...
متن کاملThe Marginal Pricing Rule in Economies with Infinitely Many Commodities
In this paper, we consider an economy with infinitely many commodities and non-convex production sets. We propose a definition of the marginal pricing rule which allows us to encompass the case of smooth and convex production sets. We also show the link with the definition used in a finite dimensional setting where the marginal pricing rule is defined by means of the Clarke’s normal cone. We pr...
متن کاملImplementation of balanced linear cost share equilibrium solution in Nash and strong Nash equilibria
This paper considers the incentive aspect of the Balanced Linear Cost Share Equilibrium (BLCSE), which yields an endogenous theory of profit distribution for public goods economies with convex production technologies. We do so by presenting an incentive compatible mechanism which doubly implements the BLCSE solution in Nash and strong Nash equilibria so that Nash allocations and strong Nash all...
