摘要
This paper introduces a second-price auction with a flexible reserve price, where the reserve price for the top bidder is not fixed but a function of all losing bids. We show that when bidders are ex ante heterogeneous, a second-price auction with an optimally chosen flexible reserve price not only generates a strictly higher expected revenue than that of a second-price auction with any fixed reserve price but is also revenue-maximizing among all strategy-proof and discrimination-free mechanisms.
