Mechanism design provides methodological underpinnings for a very broad range of institutional design and regulation problems. The presence of monetary transfers is the main facilitator for modulating incentives. By contrast, we combine methods and insights from both mechanism design and social choice to solve optimality questions in settings without money. In addition, we contribute to other fundamental aspects of mechanism design such as informed-principal problems, multidimensional design, and equivalence between mechanisms.
