Overbidding in Independant Private-Values Auctions and Misperception of Probabilities

Armantier, Olivier; Treich, Nicolas - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2006

We conduct an experiment to test whether probability misperception may be a possible alternative to risk aversion to explain overbidding in independent first-price private-values auctions. The experimental outcomes indicate that subjects underestimate their probability of winning the auction,...
