Ratification and veto constraints in mechanism design

Author

Listed:
  • Dequiedt, V.
Abstract
The note points out some restrictions imposed by the notion of ratification. This notion is widely used in the mechanism design literature that assumes that each agent has a veto power. We exhibit allocations that are note ratifiable and nevertheless can be implemented through a mechanism that gives veto power to the agents.
