Consider a market for used cars. There are 100 sellers and 100 buyers. The sellers know the qualities of their cars, but the buyers only know that the quality θ of each used card is uniformly distributed over interval [0, 1]. The seller’s value of a car with quality θ is θ. (Thus, market supply is S(p) = 100p for 0 ≤ p ≤ 1 and S(p) = 100 for p > 1.) Each of 50 buyers values a car...
