Research Type Theoretical We consider the problem of designing the information environment for revenue maximization in a sealed-bid second price auction with two bidders. ... We show that in a standard common-value auction setting, there is no benefit to the auctioneer in terms of expected revenue from sharing information with the bidders, although there are effects on the distribution of revenues. In an interdependent-value model with mixed privateand common-value components, however, we show that asymmetric, information-revealing signals can increase revenue.
