Abstract

We examine two-party spatial negotiations with single-peaked preferences and two-sided uncertainty about those preferences. A classical ex post efficient dominant strategy incentive-compatible individually-rational mechanism exists if and only if there is either complete information or one-sided incomplete information about the gains from agreement. If there is two-sided uncertainty about gains from agreement, a classical ex post efficient Bayesian incentive-compatible individually-rational mechanism does not exist.
