- A Taxonomy of Financial Crisis Resolution Mechanisms: Cross-Country Experience
- The paper reviews cases in which countries employed alternative mechanisms to restructure their financial and corporate sectors. Initial declines in economic activity that begin as a normal recession become larger as those losses result in large exchange rate movements and collapses of banks. The paper briefly reviews the policy setting...

- Incentives In Core-Selecting Auctions
- Recent years have seen a number of new and important applications of stable matching procedures in practical applications, including school assignments in New York and Boston and new designs for life-saving organ exchanges. The mechanisms that have been adopted, and sometimes even the runner-up mechanisms, are stable mechanisms that select...

- The Impact Of Rating Systems On Subcontracting Decisions - A Transaction Cost Analysis
- This paper investigates how different types of rating mechanisms can affect transaction costs in business-to-business electronic commerce. In consumer electronic marketplaces, where the asset-specificity of the transactions is generally low, simple unweighted rating mechanisms have been shown to increase trust and therefore also decrease the transactions costs associated with opportunistic...

- Quasi-Robust Multiagent Contracts
- A criticism of mechanism design theory is that the optimal mechanism designed for one environment can produce drastically different actions, outcomes, and payoffs in a second, even slightly different, environment. In this sense, the theoretically optimal mechanisms usually studied are not "robust." In order to study robust mechanisms while maintaining...

- Market Design For Procurement: Empirical And Theoretical Investigation Of Buyer-Determined Multi-Attribute Mechanisms
- Reverse auctions are fast becoming the standard for many procurement activities. In the past, the majority of such auctions have been solely price-based, but increasingly attributes other than price affect the auction outcome. Specifically, the buyer uses a scoring function to compare bids, and the bid with the highest score...

- Internet Advertising And The Generalized Second-Price Auction
- This paper explains a new auction mechanism, which we call the "Generalized Second-Price" auction, or GSP. GSP is tailored to the unique environment of the market for online ads, and neither the environment nor the mechanisms have previously been studied in the mechanism design literature. While studying the properties of...

- Efficient Mechanisms for Mergers and Acquisitions
- In this paper, one uses a mechanism design approach to study these questions. The main advantage to this approach is its generality: in view of the Revelation Principle, any equilibrium of any conceivable game can be induced by the truth-telling equilibrium of an incentive-compatible revelation mechanism. Thus, ones approach allows...

- This paper shows that the organizations and social movement's literatures have developed serendipitously along parallel paths and, as a result, share insights regarding several important issues. In particular, there are strong similarities in terms of the mechanisms by which organizations and social movements develop and change. This paper articulates the...

- Inducing Liquidity in Thin Financial Markets Through Combined-Value Trading Mechanisms
- Asset pricing theory hypothesizes that investors are only interested in portfolios; individual securities are evaluated only in terms of their contribution to portfolio risk and return. Yet, standard financial market design is that of parallel, unconnected markets, whereby investors cannot submit orders in one market conditional on events in others....

- Secure Implementation: Strategy-Proof Mechanisms Reconsidered
- Strategy-proofness, requiring that truth-telling is a dominant strategy, is a standard concept in social choice theory. However, the concept of strategy-proofness has serious drawbacks. First, announcing one's true preference may not be a unique dominant strategy, and using the wrong dominant strategy may lead to the wrong outcome. Second, almost...

- Secure Implementation Experiments: Do Strategy-Proof Mechanisms Really Work?
- Strategy-proofness, requiring that truth-telling is a dominant strategy, is a standard concept used in social choice theory. In particular, announcing one's true preference may not be a unique dominant strategy, and almost all strategy-proof mechanisms have a continuum of Nash equilibria. For only a subset of strategy-proof mechanisms do the...

- The Effectiveness of Different Mechanisms for Integrating Marketing and R & D
- The integration of marketing and R&D is a major concern for companies that want to improve their new product performance NPP. In order to integrate, companies are using mechanisms such as physical proximity, cross-functional teams, and job rotation. This study examines the relative effectiveness of these mechanisms by developing a...
