Mechanism Design by Competing Sellers
构建了一个多卖家多买家的动态模型,卖家采用相同拍卖,买家随机选择卖家,发现有效保留价拍卖是每个卖家的最优机制。
A dynamic model with many sellers and buyers is constructed. Agents failing to trade may trade in the next period. An equilibrium is found where sellers hold identical auctions and buyers randomize over the sellers they visit. The distribution of buyer valuations is endogenous. An auction with efficient reserve is an optimal mechanism from each seller's point of view, in spite of the ability of any seller to alter the distribution of buyer types participating in the seller's mechanism by altering the mechanism.
