How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

CRETA Seminar - Larry Samuelson (Yale)
S2.79

Title: Delegated Bidding
Abstract: We study an interaction in which principals must hire agents
to bid in an auction. The agents can exert unobserved and costly effort
to collect information about the value of the object. The optimal remuneration
scheme must induce the agents to exert effort and then appropriately
condition their bids on their information. The principals thus face
a competing-mechanisms problem with interdependence valuations among
the agents. We identify conditions under which the principals’ mechanismchoice
game has a pure equilibrium. We characterize the distortions induced
in the agents’ bidding schemes by the principals’ efforts to reduce the agents’
rents, and characterize circumstances under which these distortions induce
overbidding.
