Search with Adverse Selection

No 827, 2009 Meeting Papers from Society for Economic Dynamics

Abstract: The bargaining process is a critical part of the model. Due to the information asymmetry, we cannot use the simple surplus sharing solutions that are common in the search literature. Instead, we assume that the buyer has all the bargaining power and offers a general mechanism which the seller can either accept or reject. Thus, we model bargaining as a principal-agent problem, with the buyer being the informed principal as in Myerson (1983).
