Araujo, AloisioCastro, Luciano I. de2006-11-092006-11-092006-082340-5031https://hdl.handle.net/10016/378We prove the existence of monotonic pure strategy equilibrium for many types of asymmetric auctions with n bidders and unitary demands, interdependent values and independent types. The assumptions require monotonicity only in the own bidder's type. The payments can be a function of all bids. Thus, we provide a new equilibrium existence result for asymmetrical double auctions and a small number of bidders. The generality of our setting requires the use of special tie-breaking rules. We present a reasonable counterexample for interdependent values auctions that shows that sometimes all equilibria are trivial, that is, they have zero probability of trade. Nevertheless, we give sufficient conditions for non-trivial equilibrium existence.648039 bytesapplication/pdfengPure strategy equilibria of single and double auctions with interdependent valuesworking paperEconomÃaopen accesswe065320
