It is shown that the linkage principle (Milgrom and Weber (1982)) does not extend to the multi-unit auction setting. An analysis of the equilibium bidding strategies is carried out for the general two-agent/two-unit Vickrey auction in order to provide economic insight into the nature of the failure. In addition, an explicit counterexample is provided. ∗ Both authors acknowledge support from the Binational Science Foudation (grant#9500023/1).
