Consider a first-price, sealed-bid auction, and suppose there are o three feasible bids: A bidder can bid 1, 2, or 3. The payoff to a lo there are ony yoff to a losing bidder is zero. The payoff to a winning bidder equals his valuation minus the price paid (which, by the rules of the auction, is his bid). What is private information to a bidder is how much the item is worth >2, to him; hence, a bidder's type is his valuation. Assume that ther only two valuations, which we'll denote L and H, where H3 > L2 Assume also that each bidder has probability.75 of having a high valu- ation, H. The Bayesian game is then structured as follows: First, Nature chooses the two bidders' valuations. Second, each bidder learns his valuation, but does not learn the valuation of the other bidder.

Explanation / Answer

a. Derive the conditions on H and L whereby it is a symmetric Bayes–Nash equilibrium for a bidder to bid 3 when he has a high valuation and 2 when he has a low valuation.

It is to find the condition such that (3, 2) is a symmetric BNE. That is, every bidder with valuation H bids 3 while that with L bids 2.

For H Type, the expected payoff of bidding

3: .75×(H-3)/2+.25×(H-3)=5(H-3)/8

2: .75×0+.25×(H-2)/2=(H-2)/8

1: .75×0+.25×0=0

To bid 3 is the best if H13/4.

For L Type, the expected payoff of bidding

3: .75×(L-3)/2+.25 ×(L-3)=5(L-3)/8<0

2: .75×0+.25×(L-2)/2=(L-2)/8

1: .75×0+.25×0=0

To bid 2 is the best if L2 which is true because H>3>L>2.

Hence (3, 2) is a symmetric BNE if H13/4.
