Implementation of Reduced Form Mechanisms: A Simple Approach and a New
Characterization
Sergiu Hart and Philip J. Reny
Abstract
We provide a new characterization of implementability of reduced form
mechanisms in terms of straightforward second-order stochastic
dominance. In addition, we present a simple proof of Matthews' (1984)
conjecture, proved by Border (1991), on implementability.
