Arrovian efficiency and auditability in the allocation of discrete resources

Pycia, Marek; Ünver, M Utku (2020). Arrovian efficiency and auditability in the allocation of discrete resources. Discussion Paper Series DP15377, CEPR.

Abstract

In environments where heterogeneous indivisible resources are being allocated without monetary transfers and each agent has a unit demand, we show that an allocation mechanism is individually strategy-proof and Arrovian efficient, i.e., it always selects the best outcome with respect to some Arrovian social welfare function if, and only if, the mechanism is group strategy-proof and Pareto efficient. Re-interpreting Arrow's Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives in terms of auditability of the mechanism, we further show that these are precisely the mechanisms that are strategy-proof, Pareto efficient, and auditable.
