We study the optimal entry fee in a symmetric private value first-price auction with signaling, in which the … participation decisions and the auction outcome are used by an outside observer to infer the bidders’ types. We show that this … auction has a unique fully separating equilibrium bidding function. When the bidders’ sensibility for the signaling concern is …

We propose that multinational firms learn about their profitability in a particular market by observing their performance in nearby markets. We first develop a model of firm expectations formation with noisy signals from multiple markets and derive predictions on expectations formation and...
