Abstract

An analogue of Vickrey's (1961) multi-unit auction is provided when bidders have interdependent values and one-dimensional private information. The analogue is strategically equivalent to a collection of two-bidder single-unit second-price auctions and it possesses an efficient ex-post equilibrium.
