Bayesian implementation and rent extraction in a multi-dimensional procurement problem
Herweg, Fabian; Schmidt, Klaus M. - 2018
We consider a multi-dimensional procurement problem in which sellers have private information about their costs and about a possible design flaw. The information about the design flaw is necessarily correlated. We solve for the optimal Bayesian procurement mechanism that implements the efficient...

A small volume reduction that melts down the market : auctions with endogenous rationing
Ehrhart, Karl-Martin; Hanke, Ann-Katrin; Ott, Marion - 2020
Auctions with endogenous rationing have been introduced to stimulate competition. Such (procurement) auctions reduce the volume put out to tender when competition is low. This paper finds a strong negative effect of endogenous rationing on participation when bid-preparation is costly,...

Revenues and welfare in auctions with information release
Schweizer, Nikolaus; Szech, Nora - 2015
Auctions are the allocation-mechanisms of choice whenever goods and information in markets are scarce. Therefore, understanding how information affects welfare and revenues in these markets is of fundamental interest. We introduce new statistical concepts, k- and k-m-dispersion, for...

Anchored strategic reasoning
Ivanova-Stenzel, Radosveta; Seres, Gyula - 2022
Anchoring is a robust behavioral phenomenon modeled predominantly as a bias in individual judgment. We propose a game-theoretic model that considers players’ beliefs about others’ behavior as a mediator for the effect of the anchor on a player’s choice. The results establish that anchoring...

How do sellers benefit from buy-it-now prices in Ebay auctions? : an experimental investigation

Using the real … eBay environment in the laboratory, we find that the eBay auction format supports deviations from truthful bidding leading … to auction prices substantially below those expected in second-price auctions. Our results reveal that the observed price …
