This paper analyzes an auction mechanism that excludes overoptimistic bidders inspired by the rules of the procurement auctions adopted by several Japanese local governments. Our theoretical and experimental results suggest that the endogenous exclusion rule reduces the probability of suffering...

certifier can enable the seller to disclose her private information publicly, as well as gather additional market information …-maximal information-gathering. Thus, optimal contracts eliminate private information but not market uncertainty; even though the latter … would be costless, it is suboptimal as it requires excessive information rents to the seller. Thus, market inefficiencies …

We consider the problem of allocating infinitely divisible commodities among a group of agents. Especially, we focus on the case where there are several commodities to be allocated, and agents have continuous, strictly convex, and separable preferences. In this paper, we establish that the...

Following Barbera, Sonnenschein, and Zhou (1991, Econometrica 59, 595-609), we study rules (or social choice functions) through which agents select a subset from a set of objects. We investigate domains on which there exist nontrivial strategy-proof rules. We establish that the set of separable...

In this paper, we pose the following question in a private-good model. To what extent can the single-peaked domain be enlarged while preserving the existence of rules satisfying strategy-proofness, symmetry and unanimity? This formulation is adopted for three reasons. First, it marks a clear...
