Researchers have incorporated labor or credit market frictions in isolation within simple neoclassical models to open … with a credit market friction (costly state verification). The simultaneous presence and interaction of these two frictions … is studied. Our main results are: (i) while credit market frictions affect real activity and employment both in the short …

In this paper I first present a new convergence result which will derive an optimal auction mechanism as a limit of standard nonlinear pricing mechanisms. For example, an optimal auction mechanism of Myerson (1981) will be explicitly derived as a limit of nonlinear pricing mechanisms by Mussa...

We consider competitive bidding for a business license, via an open ascending-price auction, between two symmetric incumbents and a potential entrant, each of whom is privately informed about her own valuation of the license. Entry stands to reduce the payoff of each incumbent below that in...

Existence of monotone pure strategy equilibrium is established in the discriminatory and uniform S + a-th price (a in [0, 1]) auctions of S identical objects when bidders are risk-neutral with independent signals. The model requires discrete price / quantity grids and allows for...

Within the independent private-values paradigm, we demonstrate nonparametric identification of Dutch and first-price, sealed-bid auction models when bidders are asymmetric. We also demonstrate that, in the presence of a binding reserve price, methods for estimating the distribution of valuations...

We compare auction revenues from discriminatory auctions and uniform price auctions in the case of the Korean treasury bonds auction market. For this purpose, we employ detailed bidder level data for each of 16 discriminatory auctions recently carried out in Korea. We first theoretically recover...
