The Mechanism Is Truthful, Why Aren't You?
研究了在策略证明机制（如延迟接受机制）中，参与者为何不诚实报告偏好，发现认知能力较低和预期竞争激烈是主要原因，对市场设计者理解参与者行为有参考价值。
Honesty is the best policy in the face of a strategy-proof mechanism--irrespective of others' behavior, the best course of action is to report one's preferences truthfully. We review evidence from different markets in different countries and find that a substantial percentage of participants do not report their true preferences to the strategy-proof Deferred Acceptance mechanism. Two recurring correlates of preference misrepresentation are lower cognitive ability and the expectation of stronger competition. We evaluate possible explanations, which we hope will inform practicing market designers.
