Talk:First-price sealed-bid auction

equivalence

The "equivalence" of a first-price sealed-bid auction and a dutch auction is stronger than revenue equivalence. I think it's usually called "strategic equivalence"--essentially meaning that modeling the two of them works out the same, and standard game theory would have people choosing the same strategies for each. Anyway, I'll try to source that soon. CRETOG8(t/c) 04:59, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Resolving a tied bid?

In a case where two or more bidders make the same bid, and that bid wins, how is it decided who gets the item being bid on? Blozier2006 (talk) 07:57, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Example clarification

The line * $x\geq f(b)$. Then Alice wins and enjoys a net gain of $a-x$. This happens with probability $f^{-1}(x)=2x$. is not clear for $2x\geq 1$ — Preceding unsigned comment added by PSAfrance (talk • contribs) 09:21, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
