Consistent Implementation

Email address: s.mcdonald@mailbox.uq.edu.au

Abstract:
In this paper we examine conditions under which a social choice function may be implemented consistently. That is, if agents possess consistent conjectures about each others behaviour, then the resulting equilibrium will be consistent. We examine the question of whether a social choice function can be implemented by equilibria with consistent conjectures. We relate the work to literature on both consistent conjectures and mechanism design.
