On asymmetric reserve prices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate equilibrium bidding in first-price auctions with asymmetric reserve prices. For example, the auctioneer may set a low reserve price for one subset of bidders and a high reserve price for others. When used to pursue a distributional objective, lowering the reserve price for some bidders channels benefits toward marginal agents in the favored group and does not adversely impact nonfavored bidders whose reserve price is unchanged. Even in symmetric environments, when the valuation distribution is not regular, introducing asymmetric reserve prices can increase the auctioneer’s revenue compared to an optimal common reserve price. Implications for auction design are considered.

How Does Large-scale Wind Power Generation Affect Energy and Reserve Prices?
Intermittent nature of wind power faced ISO and power producers with new challenges. Wind power uncertainty has increased the required reserve capacity and deployment reserve. Consequently, large-scale wind power generation increases ISO costs and consequently reserve prices. On the other hand, since wind power producers are price taker, large-scale wind power generation decreases residual dema...
متن کاملReserve prices in all-pay auctions with complete information
We introduce reserve prices in the literature concerning all-pay auctions with complete information, and reconsider the case for the so-called Exclusion Principle (namely, the fact that the seller may find it in her best interest to exclude the bidders with the largest willingness to pay for the prize). We show that a version of it extends to our setting. However, we also show that the Exclusio...
متن کاملInvestigating the impact of real effective Dollar rate on OPEC oil prices: non-linear asymmetric cointegration approach
The oil price and the real effective exchange rate (REER) are two important variables affecting OPEC countries politics and economy. Despite the fact that the existing theoretical literature confirms the relationship between oil price and the exchange rate (Dollar), there is no consensus about the direction of causality between these two variable. Also, statistical data shows that there is a sy...
متن کاملAsymmetric Impact of Oil Prices, Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth on Carbon Emissions in Iran: Evidence from the NARDL Approach
The amount of environmental pollution can be caused by several factors. These factors are not in the same position in terms of importance and impact, and not all of them can necessarily be seen together in one place or time. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the asymmetric impact of oil prices, foreign direct investment and economic growth on carbon emissions in Iran d...
