This paper proposes an estimation method for a repeated auction game under the presence of capacity contraints. The … estimation strategy is computationally simple as it does not require solving for the equilibrium of the game. It uses a two stage … estimation method to repeated highway construction procurement auctions in the state of California between May 1996 and May 1999 …

We demonstrate the approach …We introduce a simple and robust approach to answering two key questions in empirical auction analysis: discriminating … between models of entry and quantifying the revenue gains from improving auction design. The approach builds on Bulow and …
