چکیده

The authors present an analytical model of a irst-price sealed-bid cattle auction in which a spot and coordinated markets are interconnected. The model reveals that the conventional wisdom that market coordination negatively affects the bid price in the spot market is an oversimpli ication. The relationships between key market variables impact bids and bid shading in complex ways. While captive supplies can lead to lower spot prices, the price reductions do not necessarily stem from an increase in market power due to contracting. The model emphasizes the importance of several variables for future empirical studies.

Expected revenue of all-pay auctions and first-price sealed-bid auctions with budget constraints

We show that all-pay auctions dominate first-price sealed-bid auctions when bidders face budget constraints. This ranking is explained by the fact that budget constraints bind less frequently in the all-pay auctions, which leads to more aggressive bidding in that format.

Sealed bid auctions with ambiguity: Theory and experiments

This study presents a laboratory experiment of the first and second price sealed bid auctions with independent private values, where the distribution of bidder valuations may be unknown. In our experimental setting, in first price auctions, bids are lower with the presence of ambiguity. This result is consistent with ambiguity loving in a model that allows for different ambiguity attitudes. We ...

The Influence of Privacy Cost on Monotonic Increasing Strategies in Sealed Bid First and Second-Price Auctions

This paper approaches first and second-price sealed-bid auctions from the point of view that bidding reveals one’s valuation, and hence comes with a privacy cost which depends on the valuation estimate. The privacy cost applies even if the sale is lost, and negative pay-offs, not possible in regular auctions, are possible. Hence auctions with privacy cost are not equivalent to regular auctions ...
