We study dominant strategy implementation especially in economic environments. Wefirst show that in general environments, strategy-proofness and quasi-strong-non-bossiness together are necessary and sufficient for dominant strategy implementation via the associated direct revelationmechanism. Wenext prove that in weak separable environments, strategy-proofness is sufficient for dominant strateg...
