ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jet.2010.12.005 | Abstract: | Barelli [P. Barelli, On the genericity of full surplus extraction in mechanism design, J. Econ. Theory 144 (2009) 1320-1332] defines beliefs-determine-preferences (BDP) models and argues that BDP models are nongeneric in a topological sense. In this note, we point out some difficulties in Barelli's approach. Furthermore, we follow the idea of Heifetz and Neeman [A. Heifetz, Z. Neeman, On the generic (im)possibility of full surplus extraction, Econometrica 74 (2006) 213-233] to propose a more relevant notion of BDP* model. We prove that BDP* models are generic, which is opposite to Barelli's conclusion. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. | Source Title: | Journal of Economic Theory | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/52133 | ISSN: | 00220531 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jet.2010.12.005 |
