We experimentally examine the collusive properties of two commonly used auctions: the English auction (EN) and the … first-price sealed-bid auction (FPSB). In theory, both tacit and overt collusion are always incentive compatible in EN while … both can be incentive compatible in FPSB if the auction is repeated and bidders are patient enough. We find that the …

We use experiments to compare dynamic and static wars of attrition (i.e. second-price all-pay auctions) and first …

The paper characterizes the mixed-strategy equilibria in all-pay auctions with endogenous prizes that depend positively on own effort and negatively on the effort of competitors. Such auctions arise naturally in the context of investment games, lobbying games, and promotion tournaments. We also...

Bidding rules that guarantee procedural fairness may induce more equilibrium bidding and moderate other-regarding concerns. In our experiment, we assume commonly known true values and only two bidders to implement a best-case scenario for other-regarding concerns. The two-by-two factorial design...

This paper reports a new and significant experimental demonstration that market participants adjust their bids towards the price observed in previous market periods when - by design - individuals' values should not be affiliated with the market price. This demonstration implies that market...

In the variable supply auction considered here, the seller decides how many costumers with unit demand to serve after … discriminatory price auction is better for the seller in this setting. Exactly as predicted by theory, it turns out that the uniform … price auction produces substantially higher bids, and consequently yields higher revenues and profits for the seller …

We experimentally examine the effectiveness of antitrust policies against bidding rings in theEnglish auction (EN) and … the first-price sealed-bid auction (FP). We consider both traditionalantitrust policy (without a leniency program) and …
