Maximal Revenue with Multiple Goods: Nonmonotonicity and Other Observations
Consider the problem of maximizing the revenue from selling a number of goods to a single buyer. We show that, unlike the case of one good, when the buyer’s values for the goods increase the seller’s maximal revenue may well decrease. Next, through simple and transparent examples, we clarify the need for and the use of randomization when maximizing revenue in the multiple-good versus the one-go...
متن کاملBounding the optimal revenue of selling multiple goods
Using duality theory techniques we derive simple, closed-form formulas for bounding the optimal revenue of a monopolist selling many heterogeneous goods, in the case where the buyer’s valuations for the items come i.i.d. from a uniform distribution and in the case where they follow independent (but not necessarily identical) exponential distributions. We apply this in order to get in both these...
متن کاملX Revenue Maximization with Nonexcludable Goods
We consider the design of revenue maximizing auctions for nonexcludable public goods. In particular, we consider auctions in Bayesian settings for facility location problems on graphs. Edges represent sites for facilities (e.g., roads, communication links) to be constructed. Each agent represents a pair of nodes in the graph, and he derives some nonnegative private value drawn from a known dist...
متن کاملSelling Complementary Goods: Dynamics, Efficiency and Revenue
We consider a price competition between two sellers of perfect-complement goods. Each seller posts a price for the good it sells, but the demand is determined according to the sum of prices. This is a classic model by Cournot (1838), who showed that in this setting a monopoly that sells both goods is better for the society than two competing sellers. We show that non-trivial pure Nash equilibri...
