Keeping Out Trojan Horses: Auctions and Bankruptcy in the Laboratory
نویسندگان
چکیده
If a government auctions the right to market a good, continuity is likely to be of significant importance. In a laboratory experiment, we compare the effects of bidders’ limited liability in the first-price sealed-bid auction and the English auction in a common value setting. Our data strongly reject our theoretical prediction that the English auction leads to less aggressive bids and fewer bankruptcies than the first-price sealed-bid auction. χ-cursedness gives a robust explanation of our experimental observations, in contrast to risk aversion and asymmetric equilibria.
