More about this item
Keywords
Allocation Problems; Robust Market Design; Opaque Announcements; Strategy-Proofness; Transparency We introduce a framework where the announcements of a clearinghouse about the allocation process are opaque in the sense that there can be more than one outcome compatible with a realization of type reports. We ask whether desirable properties can be ensured under opacity in a robust sense. A property can be guaranteed under an opaque announcement if every mechanism compatible with it satisfies the property. We find an impossibility result: strategy-proofness cannot be guaranteed under any level of opacity. In contrast; in some environments; weak Maskin monotonicity and non-bossiness can be guaranteed under opacity.;All these keywords.
