A STUDY IN AUCTION THEORY AND A SCENARIO IN CHEATING IN ENGLISH AUCTIONS
Auction theory is a part of game theory that studies human behavior in auction markets and resulting market outcomes. Research in this area, which is admittedly lacking, suggests that cheating is a risk that players sometimes find profitable to take. Within this body of literature, researchers are …

Equitable resource allocation using all-pay auctions
Auction theory is a very interesting topic which studies mechanisms of various formats for buying and selling goods. There are all kinds of mechanisms covered in the ambit of auction theory, ranging from sealed bid auctions like first-price or second price auctions, to open bid auctions like the …

Essays on the design of procurement auctions
… of articles on the design of procurement auctions. Chapter 1 provides a primer to the subsequent three essays. Rather than addressing all the issues involved, it illustrates some basic concepts about auctions, both institutionally and theoretically. It also highlights some problems that …

Physician Behavior In Accountable Care Organizations
… Next, leveraging optimal procurement and auction theory, I present a theoretical foundation for considering ACOs as a form of incentive contract auction by Medicare and other insurers. This theoretical foundation motivates three principal empirical analyses of ACO contracts, each briefly …

Multi-round auctions for institutional real estate assets : theory and practice
The theory of auctions has grown dramatically over the last four decades; it offers guidance and insights into the conduct of efficient and optimal auctions in real estate, and other industries. In this thesis an auction process used to sell institutional real estate assets in the US is identified. …

Experimental tests of fundamental economic theories
… risk averse model of first price sealed bid auction theory and standard risk preference theory. This test will be used to determine whether observed risk attitude is solely a characteristic of the individual (as conventional economic theory has it) or jointly a characteristic of the …

Auctions, Equilibria, and Budgets
… two broad frameworks. (a) From the standpoint of Auction Theory, the agents valuation functions over the items are private knowledge. Here, a "truthful auction" computes the subset of items received by every agent and her payment, and ensures that no agent can manipulate the scheme to her …

Automated Social Science: Language Models as Scientist and Subjects
… a bail hearing, a job interview, and an auction. In each case, causal relationships are both proposed and tested by the system, finding evidence for some and not others. We provide evidence that the insights from these simulations of social interactions are not available to the LLM purely …

Adversarial risk analysis for first-price sealed-bid auctions
First-price sealed-bid (FPSB) auctions have mostly been modelled in auction theory using the decision-theoretic and Bayesian game-theoretic approaches. From a practical point of view, each approach has its limitations. To overcome those limitations, Rios Insua et al. (2009) introduced an approach, …

Optimization-based auctions and stochastic assembly replenishment policies for industrial procurement
