Efficient and strategy-proof allocation mechanisms in economies with many goods
Takeshi Momi
Theoretical Economics, 2017, vol. 12, issue 3
Abstract:
In this paper, we show that in pure exchange economies where the number of goods equals or exceeds the number of agents, any Pareto-efficient and strategy-proof allocation mechanism always allocates the total endowment to some single agent even if the receivers vary.
