Abstract

This paper explores the incentive properties of Collective Identity Functions (CIFs) in multinary group identification problems. Building on Cho and Saporiti (2020), we show that one-vote rules (Miller (2008), Cho and Ju (2017)) are manipulable. Additionally, we establish the decomposability of strategy-proof CIFs, enhancing our understanding of their structural properties.
