Te corresoning eviating rofit an equiibrium rofit for ig tyes are ( ) π βfv + βfv + βv v b b π β f v + β f v + β ( ) v + v v g b g Incentive comatibiity conition for ig tyes requires π # π, ic is equivaent to β ( α) β ( β ) f f / v + f f v + ( ) v 0 Furter simify te above by iviing bot sies it v, an e ave te conition as M βv M. Combining te to IC conitions eas to M Mβv M. We first so tat M > 0. To see tis, notice te equivaent conition is β < /[ + ( α)(f f )], ere te rigt-an sie is greater tan. Furtermore, te sign of M is consistent it f f. Terefore, if f f, or, equivaenty, if / < ( α)/[ ( α)], ten M < 0 an tus no searating equiibrium can be sustaine, ic roves te resut in Proosition (b). Part (a) is a secia case of Part (b) it α 0. We next focus on a strict reutation system it f > f suc tat bot M an M are ositive. We substitute in v λ /(βλ f + βλ f ) to reorganize te IC conitions as M M λ M f + f λ M Define λ an λ as te vaues of λ / λ, tat mae te to IC conitions bining; tat is, π π an π π. We can erive λ as in Equation () an λ as in te roosition. For any searating equiibrium tat satisfies te above conition, te corresoning roortion ratio λ / λ must be beteen λ an λ ; tat is, λ λ / λ λ. Furtermore, in orer to fin a λ tat satisfies te above conitions, it suffices to so tat ( M )/( M ) $ ( M )/( M ) an M /( M ) > f. Te first conition is aarenty true, an te secon conition can be simifie as f β > β ( f ) ( f ) ( α ) + ( + ) f + f f f In aition, because β 0 [0, ], a searating equiibrium requires reritten as / it as in Equation (0). f f f f f f 0, ic can be + Substituting f θ in Equation (7) an v in Equation (8) into Equations (5) an (6), e can erive θ as in Equations (3) an (4).

Proof of Coroary : It is straigtforar to verify tat increases in /. For, e tae erivative of te enominator it resect to / an obtains ( )/( ) λ /( λ).

It foos irecty from te exressions of v,, an tat tey are a ecreasing in λ / λ an λ.

For o tyes, enote teir eviating effort an rofit as ' an π '. If tey eviate to a goo reutation, teir incentive can be escribe troug te first-orer conition as α t ' + β v 0, ic eas to ' /. For o tyes to refer ba reutations to goo reutations, e nee π < π, or equivaenty ( β ) + + v < ( ) ( α)( b) ( ) 0 ote tat ' / an b /, an / <. Te above IC conition os as ong as ' >, ic can be simifie to te conition on / in Proosition 4. We aso nee to ensure tat m 0 [0. ] in equiibrium. First, notice tat bot M an βv are ecreasing in m. We ten rearrange Equation (8) as ( ) ( ) + ( ) λ m λ m λ b ote tat te eft-an sie (LHS) of tis equation is increasing in m ie te rigt-an sie (RHS) of te equation is ecreasing in m. In orer for m to be beteen 0 an, it suffices to so tat () en m 0, LHS < RHS in Equation (8); an () en m, LHS > RHS in Equation (8). Wen m 0, e ave M λ / + ( λ)/, LHS 0, an RHS βv ( λ + ( λ ) )/[ ( M)]. Te conition tat RHS > LHS is equivaent to βv > 0, or β < β, ere β is efine as in Equation (8). Simiary, en m, e ave M /, LHS λ βv /( ), an RHS ( λ ) βv / ( ). Te conition LHS > RHS is equivaent to βv < λ( )( )/[ λ( ) + ( λ) ( )], or β > β, ere β is efine as in Equation (7). It is easy to so tat β < β because α > 0 λ λ λ + In aition, e aso nee to ensure β <, ic eas to conition λ / λ < λ ere λ is efine as in Equation (9).

Lo tyes at goo an ba reutations must be inifferent; tat is, π π g, ic eas to ( g ) + ( g ) + ( β( ) ) v 0 We can sove for v by substituting in Equations (34) to (36) as βv ( ) ( α )( ) ( ) ( ( ) ) β + + (37) Te equiibrium eve of v an n are etermine by (33) an (37). For ig tyes, enote teir eviating effort an rofit as ' an π '. If tey eviate to a ba reutation, teir incentive can be escribe troug te first-orer conition as α ' + β v 0, ic eas to ' /. For ig tyes to refer goo reutations to ba reutations, e nee π ' < π, or equivaenty + v < ( ) ( α)( g) ( β ) 0 ote tat ' / an g /, an / >. Te above IC conition os as ong as ' >, ic can be simifie to te conition on / in Proosition 5. We aso nee to ensure tat in equiibrium n 0 [0, ]. First, notice tat bot an βv are ecreasing in n, ic can be verifie it sime agebra. We ten rearrange Equation (33) as ( λ )( n ) λ ( ) + ( λ ) n( ) g (38) otice tat te eft-an sie of tis equation is ecreasing in n ie te rigt-an sie is increasing in n. For te equiibrium n to be beteen 0 an, it must satisfy to conitions: () en n 0, Equation (38) becomes an inequaity it te eft-an sie (LHS) greater tan te rigt-an sie (RHS); an () en n, Equation (38) becomes an inequaity it te eft-an sie ess tan te rigt-an sie.

Ste : We ant to so tat Equation (4) simy moves te equiibrium aong te ine escribe by Equation (40). In oter ors, as λ / ( λ ) varies from 0 to 4, te corresoning variations of a an b cover every singe oint in Equation (40). First, substitute Equation (40) into Equation (4) an rerite te atter as a function of b ony: λ M 3b+ M 6b λ λ 4b M + b ere M ( α)( ) /, an α. otice tat 3 3 λ 60 b + (36 0M + 6 M ) b + (7M 4M 3 4 M ) b ( 4 b) ( M+ b) an 60 > 0, 36 ² 0M + 6M ² > 0, an 7M ² 4M ² 3 ³ 4M ³ < 0. Hence, λ ecreases in b en b is sma, an increases in b en b is arge. We aso nee to cec eter Equation (4) itsef imoses any restrictions on te variations of b. Te ony conition tat as to be satisfie is λ $ 0. ote tat, α (a + b) > 0 is equivaent to b > ( α)( )/, ic is aays true because < 0. Simiary, α 3b + α $ 0 eas to a $ ( α)( )/, ic is aso true for a a $ 0. Finay, α 4b > 0 eas to b < ( α)/4, ic is equivaent to a $ ( α)(5 4)/(4 ) because b ( α)( )/(3 ) a/3. ote tat, if # 4/5, te inequaity aays os. Oterise, Equation (4) imoses te aitiona conition tat b > ( α)/4. So, en # 4/5, λ first ecreases an ten increases in b, as b goes u. In tis case, every oint on te ine in (40) can be reace at a certain λ, an e ony nee to fin one oint on (40) to emonstrate te existence of searation. Wen > 4/5, λ first ecreases an ten increases in b, an goes to infinity as b aroaces ( α)/4. In tis case, Equation (4) covers ony art of te ine in (40); tat is, 0 # b < ( α)/4. We nee to fin a oint itin tis range tat satisfies te ICs to so te existence of searation. Ste : Reorganizing te ICH an ICL by substituting in a M 3b, e ave We enote te mie exression as T(b). otice tat ( M 3 ) b b b + ( α) b ( M 3 ) b b T 3 8b + 6( M 3b) + ( ) > 0 b It is easy to see T(0) < 0, an T(M/3) > 0. Hence, as ong as T(b M/3) $ b en # 4/5 or T(b ( α)/4) > b en > 4/5, a b b searation must exist. Wen # 4/5, substituting in b M/3, e nee ( + ) b 0, ic eas to $ 3α/.
