This paper provides a structural empirical analysis of Dutch auctions of houseplants at the flower auction in Aalsmeer …, the Netherlands. The data set is unique for Dutch auctions in the sense that it includes observations of all losing bids … auction participants, and as such these data are collectible due to neurological constraints on information processing.

The second–generation GSM spectrum auction in Germany is probably the most clear cut example of a low price outcome in … a simultaneous ascending-bid auction. The present paper gives an account of the events, describes the auction rules and … market conditions, and provides a theoretical explanation of low price equilibria in simultaneous, ascending-bid auctions. In …

The third generation UMTS auction in Germany raised an enormous amount of revenue, and at the same time achieved a more … competitive market structure than other UMTS auctions in Europe. The present paper explains the design of that auction, and … presents a game theoretic explanation of observed events during the crucial phase of that auction, which have puzzled several …
