Contents

Early life

Arunava Sen was born in Bombay (currently, Mumbai) on 3 January 1959. [2] Soon after he was born, his parents moved to Delhi, where he attended the St. Columba's School. In 1970, the family moved to the Chittaranjan Park neighbourhood in South Delhi, where he still lives. [2]

Education

Arunava Sen received a B.A. degree in economics from St. Stephen's College, New Delhi, in 1978, and an M.A. degree in economics from Delhi School of Economics in 1980. [1] He then went to Oxford University on an Inlaks scholarship where he received an M.Phil. in 1982. [1] He was tutored and advised by Sir James Mirlees at Oxford University. Then, he joined the Princeton University for his Ph.D. and worked on the theory of implementation under the supervision of Hugo Sonnenschein. [3] He received his Ph.D. in 1987. [1] Besides his advisor Hugo Sonnenschein, other members in his Ph.D. dissertation committee included Andrew Caplin and Joseph Stiglitz.

Career and research contributions

Arunava Sen joined the Delhi center of Indian Statistical Institute immediately after his Ph.D. in 1987 and has been with the Institute since then. He is currently a professor at the Economics and Planning Unit of the Institute. [1] He is most well known for his contribution to the implementation theory and mechanism design. These subfields of game theory is concerned with the design of mechanisms or institutions that produce socially desirable outcomes in equilibrium. The 2007 Nobel prize in Economics was awarded to Leonid Hurwicz, Eric Maskin, and Roger Myerson for their contribution to the theory of mechanism design and implementation theory. The scientific background document of the Nobel prize [4] cites Arunava Sen's work with his coauthor Dilip Abreu.

Implementation theory

The implementation theory is widely regarded as the reverse engineering of game theory. [4] It is concerned with the design of a game (or game-form) such that every equilibrium outcome of the game produces the desired outcome (modeled as a social choice rule) of the designer. The notion of equilibrium or the solution concept allows flexibility in designing games. In his Nobel prize winning work, Eric Maskin investigates implementation using Nash equilibrium as the solution concept. [5] Maskin shows that any Nash implementable social choice rule must satisfy a monotonicity property, which is now called Maskin monotonicity. Conversely, every social choice rule which is Maskin monotone and satisfies a mild property, called no veto power, can be implemented in Nash equilibrium. [5] This started a large literature in implementation theory. Arunava Sen, along with his coauthors, has contributed to this literature by extending Maskin's results in various directions.

Maskin's result [5] requires that there are at least three agents who will play the designed game. In his work [6] with Bhaskar Dutta, Arunava Sen extends Maskin's result when there are only two agents. In his work [7] with Dilip Abreu, they introduce a new implementation framework. In their model, a social choice rule produces a lottery over a finite set of outcomes at every profile of preferences. The equilibrium outcome lottery of the designed game need not coincide with the social choice rule outcome, but they have to be arbitrarily close. They call this virtual implementation [7] and show that virtual implementation using Nash equilibrium as the solution concept is quite permissive. In another joint work [8] with Dilip Abreu, Arunava Sen investigates implementation where a designer can design extensive form games. They describe the social choice rules that can be implemented in subgame perfect equilibrium. Their result extends the work of Moore and Repullo. [9]

In his work [10] with Bhaskar Dutta, Arunava Sen studies a new model of implementation, where agents (playing the game) can be partially honest. In their model, an agent is partially honest if she strictly prefers telling the truth whenever she is indifferent between telling the truth and lying. This paper revisits Maskin's seminal paper [5] in this new model and presents several new insights. They show that if there is at least one partially honest agent (out of at least three agents), then every social choice rule satisfying no veto power can be implemented in Nash equilibrium. Thus, Maskin monotonicity is no longer a necessary condition in this model.

In his work [11] with Saptarshi Mukherjee (one of his Ph.D. students), Nozumo Muto, and Eve Raemakers, Arunava Sen studies implementation in undominated strategies using bounded mechanisms. They show that the Pareto correspondence is implementable in undominated strategies using bounded mechanisms. [11] This answers an open question in the literature posed by Tilman Börgers. [12] The work is also important because implementation in undominated strategies has been criticised for using unbounded mechanisms to establish various results, [13] and their work provides a general positive result on implementation using bounded mechanisms and undominated strategies.

Strategic voting theory

Arunava Sen has done fundamental contributions to the theory of strategic voting. The starting point of this theory is an impossibility result due to Gibbard and Satterthwaite: the Gibbard-Satterthwaite (GS) impossibility theorem and Gibbard's theorem. Roughly, it states that there is no voting rule which is unanimous, non-dictatorial, and non-manipulable (strategyproof) if the preferences of voters are unrestricted. Arunava Sen's work in this area identifies environments where such theorems hold or well-behaved voting rules exist. In his work [14] with his coauthors Navin Aswal and Shurojit Chatterji, he provides a comprehensive description of environments where GS theorem holds. In his works [15] and [16] with coauthors Shurojit Chatterji, Huaxia Zeng, and Remzi Sanver, he identifies environments where GS theorem does not hold, i.e., well-behaved voting rules exist. In his work [17] with coauthors Shurojit Chatterji and Huaxia Zeng, he has identified environments where the GS theorem type result continues to hold even if the voting rule allows for randomization (which generalizes Gibbard's theorem).

In his work [18] with his coauthor (and Ph.D. student) Dipjyoti Majumdar, he weakens the notion of non-manipulability in the GS theorem to Ordinal Bayesian Incentive Compatibility, first studied in an important paper by Claude d'Aspremont and Gerard Varet. [19] Arunava's work [18] with Dipjyoti Majumdar shows that whether well-behaved voting rules exist with this weakening of non-manipulability depends on the beliefs of the voters on other voters' preferences. If beliefs are uniformly distributed, then many well-behaved voting rules exist and they provide a comprehensive description of such voting rules. However, if voters have generic beliefs (which are independent), a GS theorem type impossibility reappears. In a follow up work [20] with Mohit Bhargava and Dipjyoti Majumdar, he shows that if voters beliefs are correlated, then it is possible to escape the impossibility of the GS theorem using this weaker notion of incentive compatibility.

In his work [21] with his coauthor Michel Le Breton, he studies a voting environment where voters vote on various dimensions but preferences of voters are separable across dimensions. Their work identifies conditions on environments such that every unanimous and non-manipulable (strategyproof) voting rule can be decomposed along each dimension. He has pursued this line of research in some of his other work. [22] In his work [23] with Bhaskar Dutta and Hans Peters, he shows that considering cardinal voting schemes does not allow one to escape the consequences of GS impossibility theorem.

Mechanism design with transfers

Arunava Sen has done fundamental contributions to the theory of mechanism design where transfers are used for incentives, e.g., auction design. In mechanism design, incentive compatibility is often characterized by (equivalent to) some form of monotonicity condition. In his seminal work on revenue-maximizing single object auctions, Roger Myerson provides such a monotonicity condition. In his work [24] with Sushil Bikhchandani, Shurojit Chatterji, Ron Lavi, Ahuva Mualem, and Noam Nisan, Arunava Sen provides an analogue of this monotonicity condition which works in a variety of problems, including multi-object auctions and provision of multiple public goods. This work [24] is regarded as a fundamental contribution to the multidimensional mechanism design literature, where private information of agents have multiple dimensions. In his works [25] and [26] with Debasis Mishra and Swaprava Nath, he has described the set of all strategyproof mechanisms in mechanism design settings which permit transfers. These contributions extend a seminal characterization of strategyproof mechanisms in these settings due to Kevin W. S. Roberts.

Simpler proofs of important theorems in mechanism design

Arunava Sen has provided simple proofs of three important theorems in mechanism design. In his work, [27] he uses induction on the number of agents to provide a simple proof of the Gibbard-Satterthwaite (GS) theorem. The induction technique in proving the GS theorem is quite easily extendible to other settings where such theorems hold. For instance, in his work [18] with Dipjyoti Majumdar, he uses similar induction techniques to prove an analogue of the GS theorem using a weaker notion of incentive compatibility. He uses the induction technique to prove a simpler version of Gibbard's theorem in his work. [28] In his work [25] with Debasis Mishra, he provides a simpler proof of an important theorem, due to Kevin W. S. Roberts, which characterizes the set of strategyproof mechanisms in mechanism design problems with transfers. This proof uses ideas from social choice theory, particularly in. [19]

In general, Arunava Sen's works tend to connect different branches of mechanism design theory and social choice theory to establish elegant results in different areas of economic theory. A prime example of such a work is [29] with Mridu Prabal Goswami. In this work, [29] they use ideas from Myerson's single object auction design to prove a dictatorship result in an exchange economy setting, a problem which was first studied by Leonid Hurwicz.

His contributions have been published in journals like Econometrica, Review of Economic Studies, Theoretical Economics, Journal of Economic Theory, Games and Economic Behavior and Social Choice and Welfare among others. [1]

It deals with deterministic ordinal electoral systems that choose a single winner, and states that for every voting rule of this form, at least one of the following three things must hold:

  1. The rule is dictatorial, i.e. there exists a distinguished voter who can choose the winner; or
  2. The rule limits the possible outcomes to two alternatives only; or
  3. The rule is susceptible to tactical voting: in some situations, a voter's sincere ballot may not best defend their opinion.

Social choice theory or social choice is a branch of welfare economics that analyzes mechanisms and procedures for collective decision-making. Social choice incorporates insights from economics, mathematics, and game theory to find the best ways to combine individual opinions, preferences, or beliefs into a single coherent measure of the quality of different outcomes, called a social welfare function.

A mechanism is called incentive-compatible (IC) or truthful if every participant can achieve their own best outcome by acting according to their true preferences. For example, there is incentive compatibility if high-risk clients are better off in identifying themselves as high-risk to insurance firms, who only sell discounted insurance to high-risk clients. Likewise, they would be worse off if they pretend to be low-risk. Low-risk clients who pretend to be high-risk would also be worse off.

The revelation principle is a fundamental result in mechanism design, social choice theory, and game theory which shows it is always possible to design a strategy-resistant implementation of a social decision-making mechanism. It can be seen as a kind of mirror image to Gibbard's theorem. The revelation principle says that if a social choice function can be implemented using some non-truthful mechanism, the same function can be implemented by a truthful mechanism which has the same equilibrium outcome (payoffs).

In social choice theory, a dictatorship mechanism is a rule by which, among all possible alternatives, the results of voting mirror a single predetermined person's preferences, without consideration of the other voters. Dictatorship by itself is not considered a good mechanism in practice, but it is theoretically important: by Arrow's impossibility theorem, when there are at least three alternatives, dictatorship is the only ranked voting electoral system that satisfies unrestricted domain, Pareto efficiency, and independence of irrelevant alternatives. Similarly, by Gibbard's theorem, when there are at least three alternatives, dictatorship is the only strategyproof rule.

In mechanism design, monotonicity is a property of a social choice function. It is a necessary condition for being able to implement the function using a strategyproof mechanism. Its verbal description is:

If changing one agent's type changes the outcome under the social choice function, then the resulting difference in utilities of the new and original outcomes evaluated at the new type of this agent must be at least as much as this difference in utilities evaluated at the original type of this agent.

Fractional social choice is a branch of social choice theory in which the collective decision is not a single alternative, but rather a weighted sum of two or more alternatives. For example, if society has to choose between three candidates: A B or C, then in standard social choice, exactly one of these candidates is chosen, while in fractional social choice, it is possible to choose "2/3 of A and 1/3 of B".
