Learning and Incentive Compatible Mechanisms for Public Goods Provision: An Experimental Study
This is the rst systematic experimental study of the comparative performance of two incentive compatible mechanisms for public goods provision: the Basic Quadratic mechanism by Groves and Ledyard and the Paired-Di erence mechanism by Walker. Our experiments demonstrate that the performance of the Basic Quadratic mechanism under a high punishment parameter is far better than the same mechanism u...
متن کاملThe ex ante incentive compatible core in exchange economies with and without indivisibilities
The ex ante incentive compatible core of an exchange economy with private information is the (standard) core of a socially designed characteristic function, which expresses the fact that coalitions allocate goods by means of random incentive compatible mechanisms. We rst survey some results in the case of perfectly divisible goods. Examples then show that the ex ante incentive compatible core ...
متن کاملNo externalities: a characterization of efficiency and incentive compatibility with public goods
We show that efficient anonymous incentive compatible (dominant strategy) mechanisms for public goods eliminate externalities, i.e., each individual is unable to change the welfare of anyone else. The characterization is used to derive existence and non-existence results for models with a finite number of individuals and to explain existence results in the continuum. A similar characterization ...
متن کاملPublic Goods with Congestion: a Mechanism Design Approach
I consider the problem of efficient provision of the public good with congestion in the setting with asymmetric information. I show, in particular, that when congestion is taken into account, in a wide class of economies it is possible to construct an incentive compatible mechanism that always produces the good at the efficient level, balances the budget and satisÞes each consumers voluntary p...
متن کاملConsequentiality: A Theoretical and Experimental Exploration of a Single Binary Choice
Researchers, using contingent valuation (CV) to value changes in nonmarket goods, typically believe respondents always answer questions truthfully or they answer truthfully only when it is in their interest to do so. The second position, while consistent with economic theory, implies that interpreting survey responses depends critically on the incentive structure provided. We derive simple test...
