Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 91125 Envy-freeness and Implementation in Large Economies

Envy - Freeness and Implementation in Large Economies ∗

We show that an asymptotic envy-freeness is a necessary condition for a form of robust approximate implementation in large economies. We are grateful for financial support from the National Science Foundation under grant SES-9986190. We thank Andy Postlewaite for helpful comments on an earlier draft.

Envy - Freeness and Implementation in Large Economies ∗ Matthew

We show that an asymptotic envy-freeness condition is necessary for a form of robust approximate implementation in large economies. In settings where agents’ allocations can be made excludably, asymptotic envy-freeness is also sufficient for implementation, while in nonexcludable settings it is not sufficient. ∗We are grateful for financial support from the National Science Foundation under gra...

Nber Working Paper Series Experimenting with Measurement Error: Techniques with Applications to the Caltech Cohort Study

Measurement error is ubiquitous in experimental work. It leads to imperfect statistical controls, attenuated estimated effects of elicited behaviors, and biased correlations between characteristics. We develop simple statistical techniques for dealing with experimental measurement error. These techniques are applied to data from the Caltech Cohort Study, which conducts repeated incentivized sur...
