The Real Price of Construction: Identification and Estimation of an Asymmetric Model of Entry

چکیده
Risk aversion has been shown to have adverse effects on agents’ bidding. In private value auctions, risk aversion induces more aggressive bidding, whenever the number of participants remain unchanged. Risk aversion may also prevent agents from entering the auction, in the first place, if a certain outcome is available, which lessens competition and, eventually the agent’s bids. Moreover, if bidders incur a cost to learn their values, as in construction procurement auction where plans may need to be drawn, and/or ground may need to be tested, the optimal auction mechanism should consider both the determinants to the firm’s entry, and the factors which affect its bidding. This paper studies a two-stage model of heterogenous risk averse bidders which decide first wether to enter or not the auction, learn their valuation upon entry, then submit their bid. I show that the model is semiparametrically identified, and propose a two-stage estimation procedure of the model primitives. The estimates yield a measure of the price of entry, or real price of construction: the bidder’s certainty equivalent of the auction.

In this paper we intend to examine the application of Kullback-Leibler, Hellinger and LINEX loss function in Dynamic Linear Model using the real price of oil for 106 years of data from 1913 to 2018 concerning the asymmetric problem in filtering and forecasting. We use DLM form of the basic Hoteling Model under Quadratic loss function, Kullback-Leibler, Hellinger and LINEX trying to address the ...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Asymmetric Effect of Exchange Rate on Employment in Iran with Emphasis on Economic Sectors
Due to the structure of exchange rate regime in Iran and its dependence on oil revenues in recent decades, it is expected that exchange rate changes can be regarded as a consequence of major changes in oil price. In this regard, the exchange rate increases and decreases can influence the level of employment of firms by affecting the amount of their profitability, and of course, this kind of inf...

In this paper, the Bertrand's price competition in the retail duopoly with asymmetric costs is analyzed. Retailers sell substitute products in the framework of the classical economic order quantity (EOQ) model with linear demand function. The market potential and competitor price are considered to be the bifurcation parameters of retailers. Levels of the barriers to market penetration depending...
