Ready to trade? On budget-balanced efficient trade with uncertain arrival

نویسندگان

چکیده

This paper studies the design of efficient mechanisms for repeated bilateral trade in settings where (i) traders' values and costs evolve randomly with time, (ii) traders become ready available to participate mechanism at random times. Under a weak condition, analogous non-overlapping supports condition Myerson Satterthwaite (1983), is only feasible if runs an expected budget deficit. The smallest such deficit attainable by sequence static mechanisms.

Platform-Intermediated Trade with Uncertain Quality

Consider trade conducted via a platform, such as an online app store or a farmers market. The quality sellers choose for their products affects the surplus trade generates. Because the platform’s profit depends on that surplus, the platform can have an incentive to regulate quality. This is true even if quality is observable at time of purchase or if sellers can develop reputations concerning q...

Generalized Trade Reductions: The Role of Competition in Designing Budget-Balanced Mechanisms

When designing a mechanism there are several desirable properties to maintain such as incentive compatibility (IC), individual rationality (IR), and budget balance (BB). It is well known [15] that it is impossible for a mechanism to maximize social welfare whilst also being IR, IC, and BB. There have been several attempts to circumvent [15] by trading welfare for BB, e.g., in domains such as do...

Informationally Efficient Trade Barriers∗

Why are trade barriers often used to protect home producers, even at the cost of introducing deadweight losses from higher commodity prices? We add an informational friction to the standard textbook argument in favor of free trade, and show that trade restrictions may be a more efficient policy than a lump sum transfer to the displaced producers. Trade barriers, while generating deadweight loss...

Efficient Bilateral Trade

We re-examine the canonical question of Myerson and Satterthwaite (1983) whether two privately-informed parties, a buyer and a seller, can trade an indivisible good efficiently. We relax their assumption that utilities are quasi-linear; our main assumption instead is that the traded good is normal. We show that efficient trade is possible if agents’ utility functions are not too responsive to p...
