Thanks in advance!Consider a first price sealed-bid auction of an object with two bidders. Each bidder i’s valuation of the object is vi, which is known to both bidders. The auction rules are that each player submits a bid in a sealed envelope. The envelopes are then opened, and the bidder who has submitted the highest bid gets the object and pays the auctioneer the amount of his bid.
