“…Além disso,é sempre possível para o leiloeiro escolher uma alocação eficiente. Demange (1982), Leonard (1983), Demange and David (1985) and Sotomayor (1999) have considered an allocation mechanism that turns out to be a multiitem generalization of the "first price" auction described by Vickrey (1961). In this auction, the buyers submit sealed bids for a single item, which is sold to the highest bidder at a price equal to her bid.…”

Summary: 1. Introduction; 2. The competitive market and the auction mechanism; 3. The main results; 4. Concluding remarks.Keywords: auction mechanism; competitive equilibrium; demand set.JEL codes: C78 and D78. This paper proposes a new descending bid method for auctioning multiple objects. The auctioneer announces a current price, bidders indicate their demands at that price, and the auctioneer lowers the prices until every object can be allocated to a buyer who demands it and no buyer receives more than one item. The features of this mechanism lie on the facts that: the objects are sold simultaneously at prices that clear the market; every two similar objects are sold at the same price; the mechanism always produces the same final price, namely, the maximum competitive equilibrium price. In addition, the auctioneer can choose an efficient allocation.Este artigo propõe um novo método de lances descendentes para leiloar múltiplos objetos com demanda unitária. O leiloeiro anuncia um preço, os compradores indicam suas demandas ao preço anunciado, e o leiloeiro desce os preços até que todo objeto esteja alocado para algum comprador que o tenha demandado e ninguém esteja comprando mais do que um item. Os aspectos importantes deste mecanismo são que os objetos são vendidos simultaneamente a preços competitivos, quaisquer dois objetos similares são vendidos ao mesmo preço e independentemente das escolhas do leiloeiro o mecanismo sempre produz o mesmo preço final, o preço máximo de equilíbrio competitivo. Além disso,é sempre possível para o leiloeiro escolher uma alocação eficiente.

“…Moreover, they also implement particular subsets of the stable correspondence. 3 For the assignment game, Demange and Gale (1985) analyze the properties of a mechanism in which agents announce their demand and supply functions, and then a referee calculates the minimum equilibrium price and allocates the objects accordingly. For the buyers, the mechanism is not coalitionally manipulable in the sense that no coalition of buyers can achieve higher payoffs to all of its members by falsifying demands.…”

Summary: 1. Introduction; 2. The assignment game; 3. The selling mechanism; 4. The equilibria of the selling mechanism; 5. Some additional examples. Keywords: matching model; assignment model; mechanism; implementation.JEL codes: C78; D78.For the assignment game, we propose the following selling mechanism: sellers, simultaneously, fix their prices first; then buyers, sequentially, decide which object to buy, if any. The first phase of the game determines the potential prices, while the second phase determines the actual matching. We prove that the set of subgame perfect equilibria in pure strategies in the strong sense of the mechanism coincides with the set of sellers' optimal stable outcomes when buyers use maximal strategies.Propomos o seguinte mecanismo para o assignment game: os vendedores, simultaneamente, fixam seus preços. Então, um após o outro, os compradores decidem que objetos comprar, se houver algum. A primeira fase do jogo determina os preços dos objetos que forem vendidos, enquanto a segunda fase determina o matching real. Provamos que o conjunto dos equilíbrios perfeitos de subjogo em estrategias puras no sentido forte, do jogo induzido pelo mecanismo, coincide com o conjunto dos resultados estáveisótimos para os vendedores quando os compradores usam estratégias maximais.
