Characterizations of pivotal mechanisms in the queueing problem

We characterize all anonymous VCG mechanisms by using queue efficiency, strategyproofness and equal treatment of equals. By additionally imposing independence axioms, introduced by Chun (2006a) and Maniquet (2003), we characterize the pivotal and the reward-based pivotal mechanisms in the class of k-pivotal mechanisms. We generalize the independence axioms to characterize the class of k-pivotal mechanisms.
