Efficient and strategy-proof allocation mechanisms in economies with many goods
Momi, Takeshi - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 12 (2017) 3, pp. 1267-1306
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.

Impossibility theorems with countably many individuals
Uuganbaatar, Ninjbat - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 9 (2018) 3, pp. 333-350
The problem of social choice is studied on a domain with countably many individuals. In contrast to most of the existing literature which establish either non-constructive possibilities or approximate (i.e. invisible) dictators, we show that if one adds a continuity property to the usual set of...

Strategy-proofness and single-crossing
Saporiti, Alejandro - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 4 (2009) 2, pp. 127-163
This paper analyzes strategy-proof collective choice rules when individuals have single-crossing preferences on a finite and ordered set of social alternatives. It shows that a social choice rule is anonymous, unanimous, and strategy-proof on a maximal single-crossing domain if and only if it is...

Strategy-proof voting for multiple public goods
Reffgen, Alexander; Svensson, Lars-Gunnar - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 7 (2012) 3, pp. 663-688
In a voting model where the set of feasible alternatives is a subset of a product set $A = A_1\times\cdots\ldots{}A_m$ of $m$ finite categories, we characterize the set of all strategy-proof social choice functions for three different types of preference domains over $A$, namely for the domains...
