The timing of constraints and the existence of efficient incentive compatible mechanisms

Abstract

dc:description

Agents who have private information may misrepresent it, to manipulate a system of rules in their favor. Loss in efficiency can be an unfortunate consequence of this strategic behavior. A common problem in mechanism design concerns the selection of monetary transfers among economic agents to promote incentive compatibility and efficiency. My research focuses on studying certain aspects of the effect of incomplete information upon economic efficiency.
