近日，我院汪紫珈老师合作论文“optimal selling mechanisms with buyer price search”在国际顶尖期刊journal of economic theory正式发表。
1.内容摘要
we study optimal dynamic selling mechanisms in a two-stage model where the buyer can search for a better price at the second stage. when this outside price is public, the optimal selling mechanism takes the form of a fixed first-stage price with price matching in the second stage. in contrast, when the outside price is the buyer's private information, the optimal mechanism is a menu of two contracts: a first-stage sale at a higher price with immediate delivery, or a first-stage sale at a lower price with second-stage delivery. thus the optimal form of search deterrence depends on the observability of the buyer's outside option.
