Abstract

We study the bilateral trading problem under private information. We characterize the range of possible mechanisms which satisfy ex-post efficiency, incentive compatibility, individual rationality, and budget balance. In particular, we show that the famous Myerson–Satterthwaite impossibility result no longer holds when contingent contracts are allowed.
