Evidence Monotonicity: Unlocking New Possibilities in Social Choice Implementation
The article explores how evidence provided by individuals can influence decision-making processes. By allowing agents to share information, even if it comes at a cost, social choices that may not seem fair at first can be implemented. The researchers introduce the concept of evidence monotonicity, which is crucial for successful implementation. They find that in certain situations, any decision can be influenced by evidence. The study also discusses the difference between voluntary evidence provision and a scenario where evidence is chosen by a planner.
