Abstract

We define and study obvious strategy-proofness with respect to a partition of the set of agents. It has as special cases strategy-proofness, when the partition is the coarsest one, and obvious strategy-proofness, when the partition is the finest one. For any partition, it lies between these two extreme implementation notions. We give two general properties of the new implementation notion and apply it to the simple voting problem with two alternatives and strict references. We also propose the notion of strong obvious strategy-proofness and show that it coincides with obvious strategy-proofness
