Further, strategy-proof and efficient allocation mechanisms are strongly dictatorial—i.e., they select the dictator's preferred allocation on the entire feasible set. Thus, our results reveal the extent to which the conflict between individual incentives and other properties that may be deemed desirable (e.g., fairness, equal treatment, distributive justice) pervades resource allocation problems UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/s00199-011-0627-5 ER -
