Mechanism Design With Ambiguous Communication Devices
研究了在个体对模糊性敏感的环境下,通过引入模糊沟通装置来设计机制,从而部分实现那些在传统信念下无法激励相容的社会选择函数,并给出了可部分实现的社会选择函数的完整刻画。
This paper considers mechanism design problems in environments with ambiguity-sensitive individuals. The novel idea is to introduce ambiguity in mechanisms so as to exploit the ambiguity sensitivity of individuals. Deliberate engineering of ambiguity, through ambiguous mediated communication, can allow (partial) implementation of social choice functions that are not incentive compatible with respect to prior beliefs. We provide a complete characterization of social choice functions partially implementable by ambiguous mechanisms.
