Description Acceptable. In situations where this action is costly, it is optimal for the government to subsidize not doing this action, according to a 1982 paper by Boyan Joyanovic. Performing this action (-5[1])minimizes a quadratic penalty term in a scheme for public good allocation developed partly by John Ledyard. Incentives to perform the (emphasize) (-5[1])opposite of this action are one of the three rationalist explanations for war in (-5[1])James Fearon's bargaining (-5[1])model. Any implementable social choice function can be implemented by a mechanism in which agents perform this (-5[1])action, according to a namesake (*) principle in mechanism design. This action is the weakly dominant (-5[1])strategy in Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (-5[1])mechanism, which generalizes the second price auction to multiple items. Sellers are incentivized (emphasize) not to perform this action in the situation described in (-5[1])■END■
