Research Type Theoretical The paper proposes a concept of an elected dictatorship. It shows that, in a perfect information setting, the gap is empty if and only if the mechanism is an elected dictatorship. It also proves that in an imperfect information setting, the class of gap-free mechanisms is positioned strictly between two variations of the class of elected dictatorships.

Pseudocode No The paper describes definitions, theorems, and proofs using mathematical notation and conceptual examples, but it does not contain any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No There is no explicit mention of open-source code being provided for the methodology described in this paper. The paper refers to an arXiv preprint for the full version and missing proofs, but not for source code.
Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and does not use or refer to any empirical datasets. It uses conceptual examples like the "Two-person Rule" and "Drawing Straws" mechanisms to illustrate concepts.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not involve experimental evaluation on datasets, thus no dataset split information is applicable or provided.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and focuses on mathematical proofs and conceptual models. It does not describe any experimental setup that would require hardware specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and focuses on mathematical proofs and conceptual models. It does not describe any implementation details that would require specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and focuses on mathematical proofs and conceptual models. It does not describe any experimental setup, hyperparameters, or training configurations.
