We trace the causes of the performance differences back to patterns in bids. The core-selecting auctions provide …. In the experiment, bidders react in the predicted direction to these incentives, though less pronouncedly than predicted. …

Using the real … eBay environment in the laboratory, we find that the eBay auction format supports deviations from truthful bidding leading … to auction prices substantially below those expected in second-price auctions. Our results reveal that the observed price …
