Abstract

The theory of mechanism design can be thought of as the engineering side of economic theory. One begins by identifying a social or economic goal. The theory then addresses the question of whether or not an appropriate institution or procedure (that is, a mechanism) could be designed to attain that goal. © 2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
