考虑了当Agent对对象有严格偏好时,将不可分对象分配给Agent的问题。在分配机制中,效率、公平和激励等相互竞争的概念之间存在着内在的权衡。因此,当试图在第三维度上改进时,自然会考虑在它们最强的概念中满足这三个性质中的两个的机制。在本文中,我们的动机是以下问题:是否存在一个策略证明和无嫉妒的随机分配机制比等分更有效?我们在这篇论文中的贡献是双重的。首先,我们进一步探讨了策略证明机制中效率与无嫉妒之间的不相容性。我们定义了一个比事后效率弱的新的效率概念,并证明了任何策略证明和无嫉妒机制都必须牺牲效率,即使是在这个非常弱的意义上。接下来,我们引入了一个新的机制家族,称为两两交换机制,并做出了令人惊讶的观察,在这个类中,策略证明等同于嫉妒自由。我们刻画了这个家族中所有中立的和策略证明的(因此也是无嫉妒的)机制的集合,并表明它们承认一个非常简单的线性表示。

英文摘要:
We consider the problem of allocating indivisible objects to agents when agents have strict preferences over objects. There are inherent trade-offs between competing notions of efficiency, fairness and incentives in assignment mechanisms. It is, therefore, natural to consider mechanisms that satisfy two of these three properties in their strongest notions, while trying to improve on the third dimension. In this paper, we are motivated by the following question: Is there a strategy-proof and envy-free random assignment mechanism more efficient than equal division? Our contributions in this paper are twofold. First, we further explore the incompatibility between efficiency and envy-freeness in the class of strategy-proof mechanisms. We define a new notion of efficiency that is weaker than ex-post efficiency and prove that any strategy-proof and envy-free mechanism must sacrifice efficiency even in this very weak sense. Next, we introduce a new family of mechanisms called Pairwise Exchange mechanisms and make the surprising observation that strategy-proofness is equivalent to envy-freeness within this class. We characterize the set of all neutral and strategy-proof (and hence, also envy-free) mechanisms in this family and show that they admit a very simple linear representation.
