Abstract: We provide characterizations of strategy-proof mechanisms of sequential resource allocation, which are equivalent to mechanisms of direct and reverse priorities. Previously known equivalency of anonymous priority mechanisms is extended to non-anonymous case. Equivalency of all non-anonymous direct priorities mechanisms is shown. We provide characterization of class of reverse priorities mechanisms, that have equivalent mechanisms of direct priorities.

Keywords: resource allocation mechanisms, strategy-proof mechanisms, game theory, planning mechanisms.
