Primes¶
- Adverse Selection
- Wilson (1977)
This sourceIntroduces the 'anticipatory' (Wilson) equilibrium: each firm assumes any policy that becomes unprofitable after its own offer is withdrawn, restoring existence where the Rothschild-Stiglitz static-expectations equilibrium fails — supports the prime's T4 refinement attributing the anticipatory-equilibrium concept to Wilson. (Existing DOI verified as correct.)
- Wilson (1977)
- Auction Theory
This sourceFoundational analysis of equilibrium in insurance markets with adverse selection, including pooling vs. separating equilibria and the role of participation constraints when the outside option dominates the offered menu.
- Screening
- T2: Incentive-Compatibility Within Menu vs Walk-Away to Outside Option.

- Winner's Curse
- The curse arises from the geometry of competitive selection alone, which is why the rational correction — bid not your unconditional estimate of value but your estimate conditioned on the hypothesis that yours is the highest of N estimates — is the canonical remedy and the structural heart of the prime.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
