We consider the design of an optimal auction in which the seller can determine the allocation and the disclosure rule … sequential disclosure rule, implemented in an ascending price auction. In the optimal disclosure mechanism, each losing bidder … learns his true valuation, but the winning bidder only learns that his valuation is sufficiently high to win the auction. We …

We propose a sequential auction mechanism for a single object in which the seller jointly determines the allocation and … the disclosure policy. A sequential disclosure rule is shown to implement an ascending price auction in which each losing … bidder learns his true valuation, but the winning bidder's information is truncated from below. As the auction ends, the …

This paper explores the consequences of information in sealed bid first price auctions. For a given symmetric and arbitrarily correlated prior distribution over valuations, we characterize the set of possible outcomes that can arise in a Bayesian equilibrium for some information structure. In...

We explore the impact of private information in sealed-bid first-price auctions. For a given symmetric and arbitrarily correlated prior distribution over values, we characterize the lowest winning-bid distribution that can arise across all information structures and equilibria. The information...

We characterize revenue maximizing auctions when the bidders are intermediaries who wish to resell the good. The bidders have differential information about their common resale opportunities: each bidder privately observes an independent draw of a resale opportunity, and the highest signal is a...
