Strategy-proof allocation of fixed costs

TLDR
In this article, the authors characterize the entire class of mechanisms for the provision of the public good and its cost that are Pareto optimal among the set of strategy-proof, voluntarily-participatory, budget balancing, non-bossy, and replacement-monotonic mechanisms.
Abstract
An economy can produce and consume a fixed-cost excludable public good only if its members fully fund the cost of the good In this paper, we characterize the entire class of mechanisms for the provision of the public good and its cost that are Pareto optimal among the set of strategy-proof, voluntarily-participatory, budget-balancing, non-bossy, and replacement-monotonic mechanisms We demonstrate that this class of mechanisms is quite small and can be characterized as simple step-price mechanisms

Social Sharing of Information Goods: Implications for Pricing and Profits

TL;DR: The results suggest that a firm can benefit from increased social sharing if the level of sharing is already high, enabling a pricing strategy targeted primarily at sharing groups rather than individuals.

Relationships between Non-Bossiness and Nash Implementability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the relationship between non-bossiness and Nash implementability, and show that on weakly monotonically closed domains, nonbossiness together with individual monotonicity is a necessary condition for Nash implementation.

Manipulation of voting schemes: a general result

Allan Gibbard
- 01 Jul 1973 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that any non-dictatorial voting scheme with at least three possible outcomes is subject to individual manipulation, i.e., an individual can manipulate a voting scheme if, by misrepresenting his preferences, he secures an outcome he prefers to the "honest" outcome.
