Strategy-proof mechanism design with boundedly rational agents : theory and experiment

Nishizaki, Katsuhiko - 2026

In a strategy-proof mechanism, implementation theory mostly assumes that each agent is rational in the sense that the agent reveals its true preference to induce its most preferred outcome. This assumption is sufficient to guarantee that the agent seeks such an outcome, but not necessary because...

How prosocial motives shape market exchange : experimental evidence from street vending

Jain, Ronak - 2026 - Revised version, January 2026

Markets are often seen as impersonal mechanisms of exchange, yet many real-world transactions are deeply social. This paper examines how prosocial motives interact with economic exchange and how this affects market outcomes. I study these questions in the context of street vending - a ubiquitous...
