Under these assumptions, we explore problems of partial and full implementation, as well as robustness. First, we characterize the transfers which are incentive compatible under the assumption of common knowledge of identicality, and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for partial implementation. Second, we characterize the conditions under which full implementation is possible via direct mechanisms, as well as the transfer schemes which achieve full implementation whenever it is possible. Finally, we study the robustness properties of the implementing transfers with respect to misspecifications of agents preferences and with respect to lower orders beliefs in rationality.application/pdfengL'accés als continguts d'aquest document queda condicionat a l'acceptació de les condicions d'ús establertes per la següent llicència Creative CommonsImplementation via transfers with identical but unknown distributions<resourceType xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" resourceTypeGeneral="Other">info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper</resourceType><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">moment conditions</subject><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">robust full implementation</subject><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">rationalizability</subject><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">interdependent values</subject><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">identical but unknown distributions</subject><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">uniqueness</subject><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">strategic externalities</subject><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">canonical transfers</subject><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">loading transfe</subject><subject xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3" subjectScheme="keyword">Microeconomics</subject><rights xmlns="http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3">info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</rights>
