English auctions and the Stolper-Samuelson theorem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that the English auction (with bidders that need not be ex ante identical and may have interdependent valuations) has an efficient ex post equilibrium. We establish this result for environments where it has not been previously obtained. We also prove two versions of the Stolper-Samuelson theorem, one for economies with n goods and n factors, and one for non-square economies. Similar assumptions and methods underlie these seemingly unrelated results.

Comparative Statics, English Auctions, and the Stolper-samuelson Theorem
We introduce a comparative-statics observation; we prove that the English auction is efficient in a model with interdependent valuations and n bidders; we generalize the StolperSamuelson Theorem to the case of more than 2 goods and factors of production and to non-square economies; and we illustrate how our comparative-statics observation is behind those seemingly unrelated economic proposition...
متن کاملCan the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem explain relative wage movements? Evidence from Mexico
Rising wage inequality and increasing international trade have renewed interest in the empirical relevance of the Stolper-Samuelson theorem. Although a brilliant theoretical accomplishment, the Stolper-Samuelson theorem has received little empirical support. U.S. studies have generated mixed results partially because prices are endogenous in a large country. This paper examines the link between...
متن کاملA Generalisation of the Stolper- Samuelson Theorem with Diversified Households: a Tale of Two Matrices
Past attempts to generalise the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem have used a matrix of real income terms which is sufficient but not necessary to define a change in utility. In contrast, one can define a second matrix of terms which are necessary and sufficient for a change in indirect utility. Using this matrix, the paper presents an extension of the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem to a model of any dimens...
