Set-asides and subsidies are used extensively in government procurement and natural resource sales. We analyze these … policies in an empirical model of U.S. Forest Service timber auctions. The model fits the data well both within the sample of …

We compare two commonly used mechanisms in procurement: auctions and negotiations. The execution of the procurement …

This paper studies multi-attribute auctions in which a buyer seeks to procure a complex good and evaluate offers using … kinds of results. First, we characterize the set of equilibria in quasi-linear scoring auctions with multi-dimensional types …. In particular, we show that there exists a mapping between the class of equilibria in these scoring auctions and those in …

Theory predicts that repetition facilitates collusion among sellers in procurement auctions, while … effects, the latter has the upper hand; average bids decrease monotonically over the consecutive auctions. Since repetition …
