A mechanism requesting prices and quantities may increase the provision of heterogeneous public goods

F Alberti, C Mantilla - Experimental Economics, 2024 - Springer
We study the provision problem of an asymmetrically valued public project using a novel
mechanism proposed by Van Essen and Walker. Under this mechanism, each player …

Designing stable mechanisms for economic environments

PJ Healy, L Mathevet - Theoretical economics, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
We study the design of mechanisms that implement Lindahl or Walrasian allocations and
whose Nash equilibria are dynamically stable for a wide class of adaptive dynamics. We …

A simple market-like allocation mechanism for public goods

M Van Essen, M Walker - Games and Economic Behavior, 2017 - Elsevier
We argue that since allocation mechanisms will not always be in equilibrium, their out-of-
equilibrium properties must be taken into account along with their properties in equilibrium …

Toward general robustness evaluation of incentive mechanism against bounded rationality

Z Hu, J Zhang - IEEE Transactions on Computational Social …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
An incentive mechanism is designed to achieve desired outcomes as Nash equilibrium, by
assuming agents to be fully rational. Nevertheless, practical agents may violate this …

[PDF][PDF] Robust Performance Evaluation.

A Kambhampati - EC, 2021 - ashwinkambhampati.github.io
This paper considers a moral hazard in teams model in which a principal knows that the
agents she compensates are identical and independent, but does not know all of the actions …

Robust Performance Evaluation of Independent and Identical Agents

A Kambhampati - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.16542, 2024 - arxiv.org
A principal provides nondiscriminatory incentives for independent and identical agents. The
principal cannot observe the agents' actions, nor does she know the entire set of actions …

[PDF][PDF] The index+ 1 principle

A McLennan - 2016 - andymclennan.droppages.com
In the simplest (generic) case the fixed point index assigns an index of+ 1 or-1 to each fixed
point of a function or correspondence, and these indices sum to+ 1. If an isolated equilibrium …

A simple supermodular mechanism that implements Lindahl allocations

MJ Van Essen - Journal of Public Economic Theory, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
This paper introduces a new incentive‐compatible mechanism which, for general preference
environments, implements Lindahl allocations as Nash equilibria. We provide an example …

Minimal experiments

PJ Healy, G Leo - Available at SSRN 4730244, 2022 - papers.ssrn.com
Given a parameterized model of preferences, what choice data or experiment would identify
an agent's parameter value in that model? Similarly, what data would be sufficient for testing …

Implementing Lindahl allocations in a warm-glow economy

A Carvajal, X Song - Economics Letters, 2022 - Elsevier
We provide a mechanism, the Nash equilibria of which coincide with the Lindahl allocations
with two personalized prices in an economy that may display warm-glow preferences. The …
