Second-Price Proxy Auctions in Bidder-Seller Networks
Ott, Marion - 2009
We analyze a model of Internet auctions. Sellers each offer one item of a heterogeneous good to bidders who have unit-demand preferences. Items are sold in second-price proxy auctions. We derive a perfect Bayesian (epsilon-) equilibrium. Our experimental findings support the theoretical results....

Garcia-Gallego, Aurora; GeorgantzIs, Nikolaos; Pereira, … - Universitat Jaume I; Universitat Jaume I; LINEEX, … - 2005
In a four-treatment experiment, we test some of the hypotheses inGarcia-Gallego et al.(2004) concerning competition among a number offirms of which some (or all) are indexed by a price-comparison enginefacilitating buyers' search process. In this paper, we isolateindividual behavior from noise...

Comment on “The spreading of disorder”
Torgler, Benno - 2010
Keizer, Lindenberg and Steg (2008) conduct six interesting field experiments and report that their results provide evidence of the broken windows theory. Such an analysis is highly relevant as the (broken windows) theory is both controversial and lacking empirical support. Keizer et al.’s key...

The impact of distributional preferences on (experimental) markets for expert services
Kerschbamer, Rudolf; Sutter, Matthias; Dulleck, Uwe - 2009
Theory predicts that efficiency prevails on credence goods markets if customers are able to verify which quality they receive from an expert seller. In a series of experiments with endogenous prices we observe that verifiability fails to result in efficient provision behaviour and leads to very...
