《机制设计理论》所提及的相关参考书

评语：I have omitted this work from my book because I am not sufficiently familiar with it. For example, I am currently reading at my usual snail’s pace through the survey chaptersmentioned above. But while I amdoing this, the number of papers on mechanism design written by computer scientists seems to grow at breathtaking speed. Finding out how to stay abreast of these developments and how to integrate my knowledge of economists’ research with whatever I can learn about computer scientists’ research is a task so large that I cannot realistically tackle it in this book.

评语：https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s003550100152 I have left out the subject of implementation, not because it would not be important,but because it has been explained so well by others and because it would require many techniques and arguments very different from the ones invoked in this book.Having said this, I continue to feel guilty for leaving out this subject. I have also not covered the contributions to the theory of mechanism design madeby computer scientists.

评语：This is a superb book, demonstrating how large parts of the theory of mechanism design can be developed as an application of results from linear programming. Vohra puts less emphasis than I do on the game theoretic aspects of mechanism design.

评语：This book is closest to mine among those listed here, but it covers more than I do, such as the theory of Nash implementation, the theory of matching markets, and empirical evidence on mechanisms. Sometimes I wish I had written this book. My own book is more narrowly focused, perhaps goes somewhat into greater depth, and places a greater emphasis on the relation between game theoretic foundations and mechanism design.

评语：This book covers material similar to that of Hurwicz and Reiter. The emphasis that both books place on the size of the message space in a mechanism differentiates them from more modern treatments of mechanism design. However, as we shall discuss in this book, in particular inChapter 10, the complexity or simplicity of mechanisms, one aspect of which is the size of themessage space, seems to be of continuing importance and may be central for future research.

评语：Designing Economic Mechanisms 一书中文版

评语：The theory of mechanism design was created by Leonid Hurwicz, who won the 2007 Nobel Prize for it, together with Eric Maskin and Roger Myerson. The focus of this text is on informational efficiency and privacy preservation in mechanisms. Incentive aspects play a much smaller role than they do in this book.
