Does Jump bidding Increase Seller’s Revenue? Theory and Experiment

主讲人

Wooyoung Lim

简介

<div>Abstract</div> <div>Current papers (Avery 1998, Daniel and Hirshleifer 1998) conclude that seller&rsquo;s</div> <div>revenue decreases when jump bidding occurs, which is in sharp contrast to the fact</div> <div>that jump bidding is allowed rather than forbidden by sellers in real-life auctions&nbsp;(e.g., Sotheby&rsquo;s auctions, the FCC spectrum auctions). We conduct laboratory experiments of private-value auctions, and confirm that seller&rsquo;s revenue increases significantly when jump bidding is allowed. We rationalize our experimental findings by&nbsp;providing a novel theory of jump bidding, which shows that jump bidding equilibria&nbsp;dominate the no-jump equilibrium regarding seller&rsquo;s revenue, when bidders are risk&nbsp;averse.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div>
