BB) budget-balance. Either strong, such that the total payments made by agents equal zero, or weak, such that the total payments made by agents are non-negative. 

Finally, this characterization of the VCG mechanism provides a unified perspective on many areas of mechanism design theory, and provides a simple and direct proof of a number of impossibility results in the literature [57]. As an example, we can consider the Myerson-Satterthwaite [66] impossibility result, which demonstrates a conflict between efficiency and budget-balance in a simple two-sided market. There is one seller and one buyer, a single item to trade, and agent preferences such that both no-trade and trade can be efficient ex ante. 

Finally, it is interesting to consider the design of double auctions and exchanges in which their are multiple buyers and multiple sellers, present simultaneously in a market. As with multiattribute auctions, the problem that immediately arises is one of the economic impossibility of efficiency with budget-balance (by Myerson-Satterthwaite), again because both the buyers and sellers have private information about their preference structure. 

Table 5.2 provides a summary of some of the double auction mechanisms (DAs) known in the literature. In terms of high-level properties of budget-balanced DAs, the following two characteristics are mutually-exclusive ...
