Consider a market for used cars. There are many sellers and even more buyers. A seller values a high quality car at 800 and a low quality car at 200. For any quality, the value to buyers is m times the value to sellers, where m > 1. All agents are risk-neutral. Sellers know the quality of their own car, but buyers only know that 2/3 of the cars are low quality and the remaining 1/3 of them are high quality. For what values of m do all sellers sell their used cars?

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...
