Procurement when Price and Quality Matter∗
A buyer seeks to procure a good characterized by its price and its quality from suppliers who have private information about their cost structure (fixed cost and marginal cost of providing quality). We characterize the buyer’s optimal buying mechanism. We then use the optimal mechanism as a theoretical and numerical benchmark to study simpler buying procedures such as scoring auctions and barga...
متن کاملAn Optimization Framework for Combining the Petroleum Replenishment Problem with the Optimal Bidding in Combinatorial Auctions
We address in this paper a periodic petroleum station replenishment problem (PPSRP) that aims to plan the delivery of petroleum products to a set of geographically dispatched stations. It is assumed that each station is characterized by its weekly demand and by its frequency of service. The main objective of the delivery process is to minimize the total travelled distance by the vailable trucks...
متن کاملBargaining power and supply base diversification
We examine a supply base diversification problem faced by a buyer who periodically holds auctions to award short term supply contracts among a cohort of suppliers (i.e., the supply base). To mitigate significant cost shocks to procurement, the buyer can diversify her supply base by selecting suppliers from different regions. We find that the optimal degree of supply base diversification depends...
متن کاملNegotiation and Auction Mechanisms in E-procurement: Systems and Experiments
Auctions and negotiations are mechanisms used in market exchanges. Behavioral economics experiments focused on the mechanism efficiency which required highly simplified problems and contexts. This paper discusses an on-going project involving an experimental comparison of auction and negotiation mechanisms embedded in software which we have developed. The experiments are situated in an e-busine...
متن کاملDominant Strategy Implementation of Bayesian incentive Compatible Allocation Rules*
A large literature on incentive mechanisms represents incentive constraints by the requirement that truthful reporting be a Bayesian equilibrium. This paper identifies mechanism design problems for which there is no loss in replacing Bayesian incentive compatibility by the stronger requirement of dominant strategies. We identify contexts where it is possible to change the transfer payments of a...
