通过实验研究两单元序贯拍卖中买方期权(允许第一单元赢家购买第二单元)对出价行为、收入排名和价格序列的影响,发现第二单元出价接近纳什均衡,买方期权多数情况下被正确使用。

Abstract

We report results from an experiment on two‐unit sequential auctions with and without a buyer's option (which allows the winner of the first auction to buy the second unit). The four main auction institutions are studied. Observed bidding behavior is close to Nash equilibrium bidding in the auctions for the second unit, but not in the auctions for the first unit. Despite these deviations, the buyer's option is correctly used in most cases. The revenue ranking of the four auctions is the same as in single‐unit experiments. Successive prices are declining when the buyer's option is available.
