Maskin monotonicity

Maskin monotonicity is a concept from mechanism design, a field in economics and game theory that deals with designing rules or structures for strategic interaction among agents to achieve desired outcomes. The term is named after Eric Maskin, a Nobel laureate in economics, who contributed significantly to the theoretical foundations of mechanism design. In simple terms, Maskin monotonicity is a property that relates to the robustness of an allocation or outcome against changes in individual preferences.
