Rationalizable Outcomes of Large Independent Private-Value First-Price Discrete Auctions

Eddie Dekel and Asher Wolinsky

Working Papers from Tel Aviv

Abstract: We consider discrete versions of independent, private-value, first-price auctions. We show for any fixed finite set of possible bids, if the number of participants is large enough, then the set of rationalizable bids involves all players bidding the highest bid that is lower than their private value.
