Abstract: | In an auction with externalities, a buyer's type is multidimensional and specifies the payoff he would get for each of the N+1 possible outcomes: the seller keeps the object or buyer i (i=1, ...,N) gets the object. The authors provide a characterization of multidimensional incentive compatible mechanisms similar to that for one-dimensional mechanisms. Although reservation utilities are endogenous and type-dependent, the participation constraint is binding for only one "critical type". |
