Designing Economic Mechanisms (Hardcover)

A mechanism is a mathematical structure that models institutions
through which economic activity is guided and coordinated. There
are many such institutions; markets are the most familiar ones.
Lawmakers, administrators and officers of private companies create
institutions in orders to achieve desired goals. They seek to do so
in ways that economize on the resources needed to operate the
institutions, and that provide incentives that induce the required
behaviors. This book presents systematic procedures for designing
mechanisms that achieve specified performance, and economize on the
resources required to operate the mechanism, i.e., informationally
efficient mechanisms. Our systematic design procedures are
algorithms for designing informationally efficient mechanisms. Most
of the book deals with these procedures of design. When there are
finitely many environments to be dealt with, and there is a
Nash-implementing mechanism, our algorithms can be used to make
that mechanism into an informationally efficient one.
Informationally efficient dominant strategy implementation is also
studied.
