An Experimental Test of Flexible Combinatorial Spectrum Auction Formats
This paper reports laboratory experiments that evaluate the performance of a flexible packagebidding format developed by the FCC, in comparison with other combinatorial formats. In general, the interest of policy makers in combinatorial auctions is justified by the laboratory data; when value complementarities are present, package bidding yields improved performance. We find clear differences a...
متن کاملAn Ascending Double Auction
We show why the failure of the affiliation assumption prevents the double auction from achieving efficient outcomes when values are interdependent. This motivates the study of an ascending price version of the double auction. It is shown that when there is a sufficiently large, but still finite, number of sellers, this mechanism has an approximate perfect Bayesian equilibrium in which traders c...
متن کاملExperimental Market Mechanism Design for Double Auction
In this paper, we introduce an experimental approach to the design, analysis and implementation of market mechanisms based on double auction. We define a formal market model that specifies the market policies in a double auction market. Based on this model, we introduce a set of criteria for the evaluation of market mechanisms. We design and implement a set of market policies and test them with...
متن کاملAn Experimental Test of Design Alternatives for the British 3G / UMTS Auction
In spring 2000, the British government auctioned off licences for Third Generation mobile telecommunications services. In the preparation of the auction, two designs involving each a hybrid of an English and a sealed-bid auction were suggested by the government: a discriminatory and a uniform price variant. We report an experiment on these two designs, and also compare the results to those with...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation of a Hybrid Auction.¤
In this paper we report the results of an experiment designed to examine the properties of a hybrid auction a Dutch-Vickrey auction, that combines a sealed bid ...rst-price auction with a sealed bid second-price auction. We developed an independent-private-values model that yielded various predictions in terms of equilibrium behavior and expected revenue. We then designed an experiment where in...
