We assume(i) agents have complete information and play simultaneously and (ii) gieve the messages announced by the planner reacts in an optimal way given her beliefs. This transforms the implementation problem into a signaling game. We derive necesary and sufficient conditions for interactive implementation under different restrictions on the planner´s out-of equilibrium beliefs. We compare our results to standard results on Nash implementation.application/pdfeng©ElsevierThe Theory of Implementation when the Planner is a Playerresearch articleEconomía10.1006/jeth.1997.2318open access
