(answer: yes; the Noble prize was awarded for the answer in 2012!)

2) A buyer knows his valuation but not the production costs of the seller. The seller knows his production costs but not the buyer's valuation. Is there an institution/market mechanism/game such that the buyer and seller trade if and only if the valuation is higher than the costs? (answer: no)
