overbid more than higher value bidders, and they overbid more frequently in the second price auction than in the ascending … price auction. Overall, the lower value bidder submits bids that exceed value about half the time. These patterns are not …

An auction is externality-robust if unilateral deviations from equilibrium leave the other bidders' payoffs unaffected … externalities due to spiteful preferences, which have been used to explain overbidding in the second-price auction (SPA). Another … example are cross-shareholdings between companies that compete in an auction. We derive an auction that coincides with the SPA …

auction system works, what it indicates about price formation, and how well it performs. We begin with a short description of … the mechanics of the auction system and then organize the remainder of our discussion around two major topics. The first … topic concerns how researchers have used auction prices. We begin by discussing the returns to holding art and whether …

We describe the economics literature on auction markets, with an emphasis on the connection between theory, empirical …

auction data can be learned without restrictions beyond those derived from the relevant economic model. This enables us to … take a nonparametric perspective in discussing how the structure of auction models can be combined with observables to … uncover (or test hypotheses about) primitives of interest in auction markets. We focus on first-price sealed-bid and ascending …
