investigation of a wide variety of model specifications and constraints. Among these we consider monotonicity and convexity of the …

qualitative nonparametric hypotheses about f such as monotonicity or concavity. These tests are asymptotically optimal and …

smaller weight in the same weighted majority game. Failure of a power index to satisfy monotonicity is often considered a … pathological feature. In this paper, we show that monotonicity may fail in the unique subgame perfect equilibrium of a …

both exact and virtual mixed implementation. For exact implementation, we identify a strengthening of Bayesian monotonicity …, which we refer to as mixed Bayesian monotonicity. It is shown that, in economic environments with at least three agents …, mixed Bayesian implementation is equivalent to mixed Bayesian monotonicity, incentive compatibility and closure. For …

We introduce two new monotonicity properties for core concepts: single-valued solution concepts that always select a …
