The Optimal Mechanism for Selling to a Budget-Constrained Buyer
This paper finds an optimal mechanism for selling a good to a buyer who may be budget-constrained. We consider a seller with one unit of a good facing a buyer with a quasilinear utility function. If the buyer does not face a binding budget constraint, textbook monopoly pricing is optimal. By contrast, the possibility of a binding budget constraint can make it optimal for the seller to use nonli...
متن کاملOptimal Mechanism for Selling Two Items to a Single Buyer Having Uniformly Distributed Valuations
We consider the design of an optimal mechanism for a seller selling two items to a single buyer so that the expected revenue to the seller is maximized. The buyer’s valuation of the two items is assumed to be the uniform distribution over an arbitrary rectangle [c1, c1 + b1] × [c2, c2 + b2] in the positive quadrant. The solution to the case when (c1, c2) = (0, 0) was already known. We provide a...
متن کاملThe pricing mechanism to the buyer with a budget constraint and an indirect mechanism
The present article considers the situation in which the buyer’s taste and budget are his private information. In this multi-dimensional setting, we study the optimal mechanism through a canonical mechanism in the traditional one-dimensional context: a function of one variable, the buyer’s taste. In our multi-dimensional context, however, this is an indirect mechanism. We investigate the effect...
متن کاملSelling to a No-Regret Buyer
We consider the problem of a single seller repeatedly selling a single item to a single buyer (specifically, the buyer has a value drawn fresh from known distribution D in every round). Prior work assumes that the buyer is fully rational and will perfectly reason about how their bids today affect the seller’s decisions tomorrow. In this work we initiate a different direction: the buyer simply r...
متن کاملa benchmarking approach to optimal asset allocation for insurers and pension funds
uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...
