THEORY AND MISBEHAVIOR OF FIRST-PRICE AUCTIONS: THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION FEEDBACK IN EXPERIMENTAL MARKETS
Neugebauer, Tibor; Perote, Javier - EconWPA - 2005
This article reports the results of a market experiment designed to test the predictions of the constant relative risk … information feedback, the data support the risk neutral Nash equilibrium prediction; with price information feedback, on the other … hand, subjects overbid the risk neutral Nash equilibrium significantly. The constant relative risk aversion model is …

The Edgeworth exchange formulation of bargaining models and market experiments
Gjerstad, Steven; Shachat, Jason - EconWPA - 2003
We construct Edgeworth exchange economies equivalent to demand and supply environments typically used in bargaining models and market experiments. This formulation clearly delineates environment, institution, and behavior for these models and experiments. To illustrate, we examine results by...

Group Decision-Making and Voting in Ultimatum Bargaining: An Experimental Study
Elbittar, Alexander; Gomberg, Andrei; Sour, Laura - EconWPA - 2005
Many rent-sharing decisions in a society result from a bargaining process between groups of individuals (such as between the executive and the legislative branches of government, between legislative factions, between corporate management and shareholders, etc.). We conduct a laboratory study of...

Impact of Valuation Ranking Information on Bidding in First-Price
Elbittar, A. Alexander - EconWPA - 2005
Landberger et al. (2001) identified optimal bidder behavior in first- price private-value auctions when the ranking of valuations is common knowledge, and derived comparative-statics predictions regarding the auctioneer’s expected revenue and the efficiency of the allocation. The experiment...

Joint Bidding in Common Value Auctions: Theory and Evidence
Mares, Vlad; Shor, Mikhael - EconWPA - 2003
We examine theoretically and experimentally two countervailing effects of collusion and symmetric mergers among bidders. On one hand, the pooling of information within bidding rings increases the precision of competing estimates. We demonstrate that, in average value auctions, this leads to more...

The Strategic Impact of Pace in Double Auction Bargaining
Gjerstad, Steven - EconWPA - 2003
This paper evaluates performance of human subjects and instances of a bidding model that interact in continuous ­time double auction experiments. Asks submitted by instances of the seller model (``automated sellers'') maximize the seller's expected surplus relative to a heuristic belief...

Market Dynamics in Edgeworth Exchange
Gjerstad, Steven - EconWPA - 2004
Edgeworth exchange is the fundamental general equilibrium model, yet equilibrium predications and theories of price adjustment for this model remain untested. This paper reports an experimental test of Edgeworth exchange which demonstrates that prices and allocations converge sharply to the...
