Description: "Mechanism design is the field of economics that treats institutions and procedures as variables that can be selected in order to achieve desired objectives. A calculus-based theory of communication in mechanisms is developed in this book. The value of a calculus-based approach lies in its familiarity as well as the insight into mechanisms that it provides."--Jacket.
