证明在纯公共品经济模型中,当分配集是多维欧氏空间子集且偏好连续凸性时,任何防策略机制都是独裁的,将Gibbard-Satterthwaite定理推广到公共品领域。

Abstract

This paper investigates the structures of strategy-proof mechanisms in general models of economies with pure public goods. Under the assumptions that the set of allocations is a subset of some finite-dimensional Euclidean space and that the admissible preferencees are continuous and convex, I establish that any strategy-proof mechanism is dictatorial whenever the decision problem is of more than one dimension. Furthermore, I establish a similar result when preference relations also satisfy the additional assumption of monotonicity. These results properly extend the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem to economies with pure public goods.
