A note on the wallet game with discrete bid levels
在钱包博弈中,已知两个竞拍者出价两倍信号是均衡策略;但本文证明,一旦引入离散出价水平,该策略在日本-英式拍卖中不再是均衡,并讨论了这一结果的含义。
It is well-known that in the wallet game with two bidders, bidding twice the (individual) signal is an equilibrium. We prove that this strategy is never an equilibrium in a Japanese–English auction once discrete bid levels are introduced; we also discuss the implications of this result.
