From the introduction: We search for solutions to various classes of allocation problems. We require them to be Pareto efficient and individually rational (in the sense that no agent is ever worse off than he would be on his own). In addition to these minimal requirements we also would like agents not to be able to profitably misrepresent their preferences. This property is known as strategy-proofness.
