We study all-pay contests under incomplete information where the reward is a function of the contestant's type and also of his effort. We analyze the optimal reward for the designer when the reward is either multiplicatively separable or additively separable in effort and type. In the...

We propose a dynamic auction mechanism for efficiently allocating multiple heterogeneous indivisible goods. These goods … the auction, the auctioneer announces the current prices for all items, bidders respond by reporting their demands at … their market power, this dynamic auction always induces the bidders to bid truthfully as price-takers, yields an efficient …

-cost firm under incomplete information: a separating auction implies adverse selection and relies substantially on commitment to … allocation and transfer rules. A pooling auction serves as a commitment device against ex-post opportunistic behavior and … alleviates adverse selection. It can earn the investor a higher expected payoff than a separating auction, even when consistency …
