Abstract

We investigate mechanisms satisfying queue efficiency, equal treatment of equals and strategyproofness in the context of queueing models. We give two results here. First, we present a simpler proof of Kayi and Ramaekers¡¯ [9] characterization of the symmetrically balanced VCG mechanism. Second, we use independence axioms, introduced by Chun [2] and Maniquet [10], to characterize the pivotal and the rewardbased pivotal mechanisms (Mitra and Mutuswami [12]).
