We characterize the set of all individual and group strategy-proof rules on the domain of all single-dipped preferences on a line. For rules defined on this domain, and on several of its subdomains, we explore the implications of these strategy-proofness requirements on the maximum size of the rules' range. [...]

10 p, 205.3 KB A note on the impossibility of a satisfactory concept of stability for coalition formation games / Barberà, Salvador 1946- (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia i d'Història Econòmica) ; Gerber, Anke (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Grup de Recerca Coalicions, Incentius i Xarxes en la Presa de Decisions Col·lectives) ; Centre de Referència en Economia Analítica
We show that no solution to coalition formation games can satisfy a set of axioms that we propose as reasonable. Our result points out that "solutions" to the coalition formation cannot be interpreted as "resting points" in the way stable coalition structures are usually interpreted.

17 p, 184.9 KB Preference for flexibility and the opportunities of choice / Barberà, Salvador 1946- (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia i d'Història Econòmica) ; Grodal, Birgit (Københavns Universitet) ; Centre de Referència en Economia Analítica
A decision-maker exhibits preference for flexibility if he always prefers any set of alternatives to its subsets, even when two of them contain the same best element. Desire for flexibility can be explained as the consequence of the agent's uncertainty along a two-stage process, where he must first preselect a subset of alternatives from which to make a final choice later on.
