Abstract

Noting that a full characterization of Nash-implementation is given using a canonical-mechanism and Maskin’s theorem (Maskin, 1999) is shown using a mechanism with Saijo’s type of strategy space reduction (Saijo, 1988), this paper fully characterizes the class of Nashimplementable social choice correspondences (SCCs) by mechanisms endowed with Saijo’s message space specification - s-mechanisms. This class of SCCs is further shown to be equivalent to the class of Nashimplementable SCCs, though any further ‘strategy space reduction’ mechanism breaks this equivalent relationship down.
