The Conditional Auction Mechanism for Sharing a Surplus
提出一种首价拍卖机制来分配领导角色，从而选择公共决策和平衡转移支付，该机制能实现超出“平均”效用水平的盈余均等分享，并揭示联合盈余的精确值。
A first-bid auction to allocate the leadership role is used to choose a public decision and a balanced set of transfers. The mechanism is shown to implement an equal-sharing of the surplus above the "average" utility level. At the equilibrium an agent's message reveals the other agent's utility (when only two players are involved) and the exact value of the joint surplus. A variety of other contexts allow for the construction of similar auction-like mechanisms displaying the same mirror-image effect.
