Optimal Selling Mechanisms With Endogenous Seller Outside Offers
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine a two‐stage selling mechanism design problem, where the buyer makes her report and the seller endogenously decides his effort (hidden investment) to generate a possibly better outside offer. The optimal mechanism shows that the seller's effort depends on the reported value of the buyer; a higher value lowers the seller's incentive ...
