Revenue equivalence

An important implication of the theorem is that any single-item auction which unconditionally gives the item to the highest bidder is going to have the same expected revenue. This means that, if we want to increase the auctioneer's revenue, the outcome function must be changed. One way to do this is

Now, a player simply pays what the player bids, and let's assume that players with higher values still win, so that the probability of winning is simply a player's value, as in the second price auction. We will later show that this assumption was correct. Again, a player pays nothing if he loses the

Suppose that a buyer has value v and bids b. His opponent bids according to the equilibrium bidding strategy. The support of the opponent's bid distribution is . Thus any bid of at least B(1) wins with probability 1. Therefore, the best bid b lies in the interval and so we can write this bid as b =
4672:
Note that with this bidding function, the player with the higher value still wins. We can show that this is the correct equilibrium bidding function in an additional way, by thinking about how a player should maximize his bid given that all other players are bidding using this bidding function. See

Consider the case of two buyers, each with a value that is an independent draw from a distribution with support , cumulative distribution function F(v) and probability density function f(v). If buyers behave according to their dominant strategies, then a buyer with value v wins if his opponent's

In other words, if each player bids such that they bid the expected value of second highest bid, assuming that theirs was the highest, then no player has any incentive to deviate. If this were true, then it is easy to see that the expected revenue from this auction is also

Let B(v) be the equilibrium bid function in the sealed first-price auction. We establish revenue equivalence by showing that B(v)=e(v), that is, the equilibrium payment by the winner in one auction is equal to the equilibrium expected payment by the winner in the other.
3678: 3684:
That is if B(x) is the buyer's best response it must satisfy this first order condition. Finally we note that for B(v) to be the equilibrium bid function, the buyer's best response must be B(v). Thus x=v. Substituting for x in the necessary condition,

which is Bayesian-Nash incentive compatible; second-price auction is dominant-strategy-incentive-compatible, which is even stronger than Bayesian-Nash incentive compatible. The two mechanisms fulfill the conditions of the theorem because:

on the item. This changes the Outcome function since now the item is not always given to the highest bidder. By carefully selecting the reservation price, an auctioneer can get a substantially higher expected revenue.
3357: 1676: 4311: 3845:
We can use revenue equivalence to predict the bidding function of a player in a game. Consider the two player version of the second price auction and the first price auction, where each player's value is drawn
2021: 4193: 3787: 4605: 3221: 2752:), a buyer's dominant strategy is to remain in the auction until the asking price is equal to his value. Then, if he is the last one remaining in the arena, he wins and pays the second-highest bid. 2676: 2889: 644: 4790: 3119: 4321:
We can use revenue equivalence to generate the correct symmetric bidding function in the first price auction. Suppose that in the first price auction, each player has the bidding function

When the players' valuations are inter-dependent, e.g., if the valuations depend on some state of the world that is only partially known to the bidders (this is related to the

that states that given certain conditions, any mechanism that results in the same outcomes (i.e. allocates items to the same bidders) also has the same expected revenue.
2738: 1372:
In fact, we can use revenue equivalence to prove that many types of auctions are revenue equivalent. For example, the first price auction, second price auction, and the

Since players bid truthfully in a second price auction, we can replace all prices with players' values. If player 1 wins, he pays what player 2 bids, or
2314: 2459: 36: 4858:
rather than risk-neutral as assumed above. In this case, it is known that first-price auctions generate more revenue than second-price auctions.
251: 3237: 1572: 4244: 4530:
By the Revenue Equivalence principle, we can equate this expression to the revenue of the second-price auction that we calculated above:

Indeed, the expected payment for each player is the same in both auctions, and the auctioneer's revenue is the same; see the page on

Multiplying both sides by F(v) and differentiating by v yields the following differential equation for e(v).

The expected payment of the first player in the second price auction can be computed as follows:

The buyer's expected payoff is his win probability times his net gain if he wins, that is,

Similarly, we know that the expected payment of player 1 in the second price auction is
3015:{\displaystyle e(v)={\frac {C(v)}{F(v)}}={\frac {\int \limits _{0}^{v}{}xf(x)dx}{F(v)}}} 4937: 4892: 2685: 2582: 1851: 1831: 1811: 1728: 1454: 1391: 1271: 1250: 1066: 975: 817: 794: 706: 659: 577: 557: 534: 520: 456: 421: 361: 261: 156: 136: 106: 69: 3853: 4953: 4904: 4855: 1144: 1019: 356: 141: 2446:{\displaystyle E(X~|~X\leq z)\cdot Pr(X<z)=\int _{0}^{z}Pr(X<z)-Pr(X<y)dy} 411: 406: 381: 341: 296: 196: 1353:

Thus, the bidding function for each player in the all-pay auction is
4306:{\displaystyle {\frac {v_{1}}{2}}\cdot v_{1}={\frac {v_{1}^{2}}{2}}} 1356:
A player who values the item as 0 always pays 0 in both mechanisms.

The revenue-equivalence theorem breaks in some important cases:

For any two Bayesian-Nash incentive compatible mechanisms, if:

The expected payment conditional upon winning is therefore

come from a uniform distribution, we can simplify this to

Differentiating, the necessary condition for a maximum is
