Abstract
The note points out some restrictions imposed by the notion of ratification. This notion is widely used in the mechanism design literature that assumes that each agent has a veto power. We exhibit allocations that are note ratifiable and nevertheless can be implemented through a mechanism that gives veto power to the agents.MECHANISM DESIGN; PARTICIPATION CONSTRAINTS; RATIFIABILITY; VETO
