Valuing product attributes in Vickrey auctions when market substitutes are available
研究了当市场存在替代品时，消费者在维克里拍卖中的最优出价策略，发现消费者会压低出价以确保获得与市场相同的剩余，并提出了激励相容的产品属性估价方法。
This article investigates the weakly dominant strategy in Vickrey auctions when substitutes are available in the market. We find that it is optimal for the consumers to shade their bids so that they obtain at least the same surplus from the auction as they would from the market. For products that would be bought in the market, the optimal bid is the market price. For other products, the optimal bid is below the market price. Furthermore, the full bidding approach is an incentive-compatible method for eliciting consumers' valuations of product attributes if the products in the auction have the same field substitutes.
