Optimal selling mechanisms under moment conditions
We study the revenue maximization problem of a seller who is partially informed about the
distribution of buyer's valuations, only knowing its first N moments. The seller chooses the …

Optimal auction design with common values: An informationally robust approach
A profit‐maximizing seller has a single unit of a good to sell. The bidders have a pure
