主   题:Randomized strategyproof mechanisms with best of both worlds fairness and efficiency

主讲人:Bo Chen(陈礴)  复旦大学特聘教授

摘   要:We study the problem of mechanism design for allocating a set of indivisible items among agents with private preferences on items. We are interested in such a mechanism that is strategyproof (where agents’ best strategy is to report their true preferences) and is expected to ensure fairness and efficiency. We first present an impossibility result that a deterministic mechanism does not exist that is strategyproof, fair and efficient for allocating indivisible chores (i.e., items with disutilities). We then utilize randomness to overcome the strong impossibility. For allocating indivisible chores, we propose a randomized mechanism that is strategyproof in expectation as well as ex-ante and ex-post (best of both worlds) fair and efficient. For allocating mixed items, where an item can be a good (i.e., with a positive utility) for one agent but a chore or another, we propose a randomized mechanism that is strategyproof in expectation with best of both worlds fairness and efficiency when there are two agents.
