This paper analyzes a multi-auction setting in which informed strategic agents are endowed with heterogeneous noisy signals about the liquidation value of a risky asset. We solve for the unique linear equilibrium. One result is that when the variance of the noise is small which leads to a strong...

Faster trading improves liquidity in periodic call auction markets, in contrast to continuous-timemarkets. We build a model where high-frequency traders (HFTs) engage in duels to trade onstale quotes. More frequent periodic auctions increase the likelihood that a single HFT arrives inany given...

We study the idea that seemingly unrelated behavioral biases can coevolve if they jointly compensate for the errors that any one of them would give rise to in isolation. We suggest that the "endowment effect" and the "winner's curse" could have jointly survived natural selection together. We...

Recent research suggests that auction winners sometimes fall prey to a "bidder's curse", paying more for an item at auction than they would have paid at a posted price. One explanation for this phenomenon is that bidders are inattentive to posted prices. We develop a model in which bidders'...

Many studies have found a gap between willingness-to-pay and willingness-to-accept that is inconsistent with standard theory. There is also evidence that the gap is eroded by experience gained in the laboratory and naturally occurring markets. This paper argues that the gap and the effects of...
