带有利润分享合同的拍卖

Auctions with a Profit Sharing Contract

Vineet Abhishek, Bruce Hajek, Steven R. Williams

摘要:

我们研究通过拍卖机制出售资源的问题。获胜的买家反过来开发这一资源以产生利润。考虑两种付款形式:向中标买方收取一次性付款,或首次付款加利润分享合同(PSC)。考虑了一个对称的相互依赖的价值模型,其中买方为风险厌恶或风险中性,卖方为风险中性。对于第二价格拍卖和英式拍卖,我们表明,卖方的预期总收入从拍卖,他也采取了一小部分的正利润是高于预期的收入从拍卖,只有一次性付款。此外,如果卖方除了从正利润中拿走一小部分外,还从开发资源所造成的任何损失中拿走同样一小部分,他就可以产生甚至更高的预期总收入。超越简单的PSC,我们表明,拍卖与PSC从一个非常一般的类产生更高的预期总收入比拍卖,只有一次性付款。最后,我们表明,合适的PSC提供更高的预期总收入比一次性付款,即使中标买方开发资源的激励措施必须由卖方解决。

英文摘要:

We study the problem of selling a resource through an auction mechanism. The winning buyer in turn develops this resource to generate profit. Two forms of payment are considered: charging the winning buyer a one-time payment, or an initial payment plus a profit sharing contract (PSC). We consider a symmetric interdependent values model with risk averse or risk neutral buyers and a risk neutral seller. For the second price auction and the English auction, we show that the seller's expected total revenue from the auction where he also takes a fraction of the positive profit is higher than the expected revenue from the auction with only a one-time payment. Moreover, the seller can generate an even higher expected total revenue if, in addition to taking a fraction of the positive profit, he also takes the same fraction of any loss incurred from developing the resource. Moving beyond simple PSCs, we show that the auction with a PSC from a very general class generates higher expected total revenue than the auction with only a one-time payment. Finally, we show that suitable PSCs provide higher expected total revenue than a one-time payment even when the incentives of the winning buyer to develop the resource must be addressed by the seller.
