Alejandro Manelli and Daniel R. Vincent, Econometrica 78(6), 1905-1938, November .

Abstract:

We prove—in the standard independent private-values model—that the outcome, in terms of interim expected probabilities of trade and interim expected transfers, of any Bayesian mechanism can also be obtained with a dominant-strategy mechanism.
