Why is dominant strategy incentive compatibility (DSIC) named the way it is?
Dominant strategy incentive compatibility (DSIC) means truth-telling is the best policy, but why is DSIC named the way it is?
My understanding is that the designer of the mechanism wants to incentivize truth-telling. The mechanism is DSIC if every player's dominant strategy is compatible with what the designer wants to incentivize.
Is my understanding correct? Thank you in advance.
