In this paper we analyse scoring auctions with general non-quasilinear scoring rules. We assume that cost function of … the following. (i) Equilibria in scoring auctions can be computed without any endogeneity problems and we get explicit … first-score and second-score auctions. (iii) We show that such properties and rankings depend on the curvature properties of …
