Incentive-Compatible Voting Rules with Positively Correlated Beliefs
We study the consequences of positive correlation of beliefs in the design of voting rules in a model with an arbitrary number of voters. We propose a notion of positive correlation, based on the likelihood of agreement of the k best alternatives (for any k) of two orders called TS correlation. We characterize the set of Ordinally Bayesian Incentive-Compatible (OBIC) (d’Aspremont and Peleg (198...
متن کاملDominant Strategy Implementation of Bayesian incentive Compatible Allocation Rules*
A large literature on incentive mechanisms represents incentive constraints by the requirement that truthful reporting be a Bayesian equilibrium. This paper identifies mechanism design problems for which there is no loss in replacing Bayesian incentive compatibility by the stronger requirement of dominant strategies. We identify contexts where it is possible to change the transfer payments of a...
متن کاملIncentive Compatible Transfers
In a quasi-linear environment we characterize the boundaries of the set of transfers which implement a given allocation rule (extremal transfers). Doing so allows us to generalize and unify several existing results of the mechanism design literature. More specifically, our approach delivers a characterization result for the set of implementable allocation rules. Second, we obtain an exact chara...
متن کاملIncentive-Compatible Trust Mechanisms
Trading goods online has numerous advantages. One that is particularly compelling is that online merchants can offer their goods at lower prices compared to their offline counterparts. The physical distance between buyers and sellers, however, also leads to problems of trust. Consider the online auction site eBay as an example: its procedure is such that the winning bidder (henceforth the buyer...
متن کاملIncentive-Compatible Forecasting Competitions
We consider the design of forecasting competitions in which multiple forecasters make predictions about one or more independent events and compete for a single prize. We have two objectives: (1) to award the prize to the most accurate forecaster, and (2) to incentivize forecasters to report truthfully, so that forecasts are informative and forecasters need not spend any cognitive effort strateg...
