Rationalizability. 330 $aMechanism design is an analytical framework for thinking clearly and carefully about what exactly a given institution can achieve when the information necessary to make decisions is dispersed and privately held. This analysis provides an account of the underlying mathematics of mechanism design based on linear programming. Three advantages characterize the approach. The first is simplicity: arguments based on linear programming are both elementary and transparent. The second is unity: the machinery of linear programming provides a way to unify results from disparate areas of mechanism design. The third is reach: the technique offers the ability to solve problems that appear to be beyond solutions offered by traditional methods. No claim is made that the approach advocated should supplant traditional mathematical machinery. Rather, the approach represents an addition to the tools of the economic theorist who proposes to understand economic phenomena through the lens of mechanism design. 410 0$aEconometric Society monographs ;$v47. 606 $aDecision making$xLinear programming 606 $aOrganizational behavior$xMathematical models 606 $aMachine theory 615 0$aDecision making$xLinear programming. 615 0$aOrganizational behavior$xMathematical models. 615 0$aMachine theory. 676 $a658.4/033 700 $aVohra$b Rakesh V.$0630474 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461323003321 996 $aMechanism design$92479803 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02023nam 22004813 450 001 9910149648103321 005 20250102080301.0 010 $a9783318050134 010 $a331805013X 035 $a(CKB)3780000000102728 035 $a(PPN)268921458 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31865729 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31865729 035 $a(BIP)52081207 035 $a(BIP)1194024 035 $a(EXLCZ)993780000000102728 100 $a20250102d1982 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aParacelsus $eAn Introduction to Philosophical Medicine in the Era of the Renaissance 205 $a2nd ed. 210 1$aBasel :$cS.
