Double Implementation with Partially Honest Agents

Abstract

Theoretical studies usually assume that all agents are self-interested. On the other hand, we consider that there are some partially honest agents in the sense of Dutta and Sen[8]. If all agents are self-interested, Maskin monotonicity and no veto power are together sufficient for double implementation in Nash equilibria and undominated Nash equilibria (Jackson et al.[16], Tatamitani[39], and Yamato [42][43]). We show that if at least one agent is partially honest, no veto power is sufficient for double implementation with partially honest agents. Therefore, we no longer need Maskin monotonicity as a necessary condition of double implementability. Moreover, we show that if at least two agents are partially honest, unanimity is sufficient for double implementation with partially honest agents.
