Information and strategyproofness in joint project selection

Article Abstract:

A model was developed to illustrate technology development problems confronting research consortia and partially decentralized multi-divisional firms. The model involves identification of potential goods for a group of people whose choices, despite being organizationally affiliated, are influenced by budget restrictions and personal preferences. The model was able to yield a strategyproof selection and cost allocation mechanism under a specific decision criterion.

Article Abstract:

A model was formulated to determine the most appropriate design of politically integrated jurisdictions.

It takes into consideration an assumption that political integration of two regions makes the concept of secession costly.
