Border's theorem

In auction theory and mechanism design, Border's theorem gives a necessary and sufficient condition for interim allocation rules (or reduced form auctions) to be implementable via an auction.

It was first proven by Kim Border in 1991, expanding on work from Steven Matthews, Eric Maskin and John Riley. A similar version with different hypotheses was proven by Border in 2007.
