Abstract

We analyze a second-price auction with two bidders in which only one of the bidders
is informed as to whether the object is valued commonly. We show that any equilibrium
strategy of the bidder who is uninformed must be part of an equilibrium when both bidders
instead know that the auction is not common value, regardless of the way in which the
values are different. We derive su¢ cient conditions for equilibrium existence.
