It is proved that Groves’ scheme is unique on restricted domains which are smoothly connected, in particular convex domains. This generalizes earlier uniqueness results by Green and Laffont and Walker. An example shows that uniqueness may be lost if the domain is not smoothly connected.

The uniqueness of dynamic Groves mechanisms on restricted domains
This paper examines necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of dynamic Groves mechanisms when the domain of valuations is restricted. Our approach is to appropriately define the total…

This paper defines the class of dynamic Groves mechanisms, and examines necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of dynamic Groves mechanisms. Our approach is to appropriately define…
On the uniqueness of Groves mechanisms∗
We present a necessary and sufficient condition for Groves mechanisms to be unique among all possible efficient, dominant strategy direct mechanisms, in a social choice setting with quasi-linear…

We give a sufficient condition on the type space for revenue equivalence when the set of social alternatives consists of probability distributions over a finite set. Types are identified with…

Abstract. This paper provides two theorems which characterize the domains of valuation functions for which there exist Pareto efficient and truth dominant strategy mechanisms (balanced Groves…

Summary. We consider the problem of choosing one point in a set of alternatives when monetary transfers are possible. In this context, Schummer (2000) shows that a social choice function must be a…

TLDR
The purpose of this paper is to show that this ‘incentive’ question is mainly a problem of incomplete information and that one can fruitfully apply to it the theory of games with incomplete information.

TLDR
This paper analyzes the problem of inducing the members of an organization to behave as if they formed a team and exhibits a particular set of compensation rules, an optimal incentive structure, that leads to team behavior.
