Group incentive compatibility and welfare for matching with contracts

Economics Letters, 2021, vol. 202, issue C

Abstract: In the matching with contracts framework, under the assumption that each hospital has a choice function that satisfies the observable substitutability condition, we show that the strategy-proof cumulative offer mechanism is no longer guaranteed to be group strategy-proof, yet it nevertheless outputs a weakly Pareto efficient outcome for any input. We also discuss why, unlike the previous observations in the literature, the equivalence of strategy-proofness and group strategy-proofness does not carry over to our context.
