Abstract

This slide shows a rare example in which the iMPL is not incentive compatible. Harrison et al. (2005) propose the Iterative Multiple Price List (iMPL), which is a very convenient and clever design to elicit subject’s preference in laboratory. Since a non-iterative MPL is incentive compatible, its iteration for the finer grid seems to be incentive compatible as well. But, in some rare cases, it is not. This slide illustrates one of those cases.
