Adverse Selection in the Wholesale Used Car Market
实证研究批发二手车市场的逆向选择，发现新车经销商比二手车经销商更倾向在批发市场出售置换车，且出售的车辆平均质量更高、价格也更高。
This paper presents an empirical investigation of adverse selection in the wholesale used car market. New car dealers (who sell both new and used cars) differ from used car dealers (who sell only used cars) in the propensity to sell trade-ins on the wholesale market. Models of adverse selection suggest that the dealer type that sells a higher proportion of its trade-ins on the wholesale market will sell, on average, cars of higher quality and receive in return a higher price. A survey of dealers' wholesale behavior and prices collected at a wholesale auction are used to test this prediction. Copyright 1993 by University of Chicago Press.
