Hybrid Mechanism: Structural Model and Empirical Analysis∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a hybrid mechanism that combines auction and lottery to allocate indivisible goods. One advantage of hybrid mechanism is to balance e ciency, revenue, and equality. In this model, players self-select into a multi-unit auction with unknown number of bidders. We characterize one symmetric Bayesian Nash equilibrium where auction participants use a monotone bid function. Based on this equilibrium, we identify structural primitives of the model from observables, from which we are able to quantify various performance measures. We then apply the model to analyze the hybrid mechanism adopted in Guangzhou to allocate new vehicle licenses. With this application in mind, we develop a by-period estimation method to balance modelt and interpretability of estimation results. Our analysis shows that Guangzhou's practice increases equality by 10-fold at a cost of $1.45 million revenue every month.

Analyzing Exchange Rate Misalignment in Iran Based on Structural VAR Approach
A central problem ill empirical macroeconomics is to determine when and how much the exchange rate is misaligned. This paper clarifies and calculates the concept of’ the equilibrium real exchange rate, using a structural vector auto regression (VAR) model. By imposing long—run restrictions on a VAR model for Iran, lour structural shocks are identified: nominal demand, real demand, supply and oi...
متن کاملAn Improved Hybrid Model with Automated Lag Selection to Forecast Stock Market
Objective: In general, financial time series such as stock indexes have nonlinear, mutable and noisy behavior. Structural and statistical models and machine learning-based models are often unable to accurately predict series with such a behavior. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to present a new hybrid model using the advantages of the GMDH method and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic A...

The recommender systems are models that are to predict the potential interests of users among a number of items. These systems are widespread and they have many applications in real-world. These systems are generally based on one of two structural types: collaborative filtering and content filtering. There are some systems which are based on both of them. These systems are named hybrid recommen...

متن کاملThe directional hybrid measure of efficiency in data envelopment analysis
The efficiency measurement is a subject of great interest. The majority of studies on DEA models have been carried out using radial or non-radial approaches regarding the application of DEA for the efficiency measurement. This paper, based on the directional distance function, proposes a new generalized hybrid measure of efficiency under generalized returns to scale with the existence of both r...
