ON NASH-IMPLEMENTATION IN THE PRESENCE OF WITHHOLDING Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In this paper we construct a completely feasible and continuous mechanism whose Nash allocations coincide with Lindahl allocations when both preferences and initial endowments are unknown to the designer and unreported endowments are withheld. This mechanism extends the mechanism of Hong by allowing for semi-positivity of endowments for private goods economies and the mechanism of Tian by allowing for any number of private goods for public goods economies. Thus our mechanism improves all the existing mechanisms that implement Walrasian or Lindahl allocations.
