Question

Question 2 Consider the following auction (All pay auction). Two buyers ($i = 1, 2$) have valuations uniformly distributed over $[0,1]$. The good is assigned to the highest bid. Every bidder pays the submitted bid. Use the revenue equivalence principle to derive the optimal strategies in a symmetric equilibrium.

Step 1

Since the valuations are uniformly distributed over [0,1], the expected revenue for each bidder can be calculated as follows: For bidder 1: - If bidder 1 bids x, the probability that bidder 2's valuation is less than x is x. - Therefore, bidder 1's expected Show more…
