摘要:
In the context of the provision of one pure public good, we study how large a preference domain can be to allow for the existence of strategy-proof rules satisfying the no vetoer condition. This question is qualified by the additional requirement that a domain should include a minimally rich domain. We first characterize generalized median voter schemes as the unique class of strategy-proof rules on minimally rich domains. Then we establish that the unique maximal domain, including a minimally rich one which allows for the existence of strategy-proof rules satisfying the no vetoer condition, is the domain of convex preferences.
