Efficient Entry in Competing Auctions

American Economic Review, 2014, vol. 104, issue 10, 3288-96

Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate the efficiency of seller entry in a model of competing auctions in which we allow for both buyer and seller heterogeneity. This generalizes existing efficiency results in the competitive search literature by simultaneously allowing for nonrival (many-on-one) meetings and private information.
