Strategyproof Social Choice

A unified approach to strategy-proofness for single-peaked preferences

“…Formal definitions of left-and right-winning coalition systems may be found in Barberà et al (1993) when A is discrete and in Barberà et al (1998) when A is a closed interval. Sprumont (1995), Barberà (2011), and Massó and Moreno de Barreda (2011) have provided interpretations of these rules that highlight how these constructions are related to the definition of min-max and generalized median voting schemes.…”

“…1 There is now a substantial literature dealing with strategy-proof social choice with single-peaked preferences and multidimensional generalizations of single-peakedness. For introductions to this literature, see Sprumont (1995) and Barberà (2011).…”

Fair Queueing

“…1 The literature on strategyproofness is too large to give a comprehensive list of references. A recent review of this literature, along with a list of references, can be found in Barberà (2011) and Thomson (2013). 2 The family of VCG rules is due to , , and .…”

Multilateral Trade Bargaining and Dominant Strategies

“…In the social choice literature, the volume of supply and price are given exogenously, and the notion of efficiency refers to whether the rationing rule leads to an efficient allocation of this fixed volume across agents. (See Barbera, , section 9.1, for additional discussion of that literature.) The counterpart of this situation in our analysis arises when proposals are such that the home country is short, and the rationing rule then concerns how the home‐country implied trade volume is allocated across foreign countries.…”

“…Sonmez () provides a helpful algorithm for reaching the outcome prescribed by the uniform rule. See also Barbera ().…”
