Incentive compatibility
In mechanism design, a process is said to be incentive compatible if all of the participants fare best when they truthfully reveal any private information the mechanism asks for. As an illustration, voting systems which create incentives to vote dishonestly lack the property of incentive compatibility. In the absence of dummy bidders, a second price auction is an example of mechanism that is incentive compatible.
