چکیده
Collusion between suppliers in reverse auctions may damage buyers’ benifits and then lower efficiency of resource allocation. Under first-price sealed-bid reverse auction mechanism, suppliers' equilibrium bidding strategy and buyers' revenue loss was analyzed considering collusion. Then some general conclusions were given: suppliers' bidding strategy is relevant to some factors such as valuation costs, the number of suppliers and Cartel; the number of suppliers and Carter can lead to buyers revenue loss. Finally, considering two different kinds of distribution function, the strategies of improving buyer’s revenue were discussed.

We call such an auction a cascade auction. Our analysis suggests that this type of auction may give higher revenues compared to second price auction in cases o...

Carbon allowance auctions are a component of existing and proposed regional cap-and-trade programs in the U.S. and are also included in recent bills in the U.S. Congress that would establish a national cap-and-trade program in the U.S. to regulate greenhouse gases (“carbon”).

متن کاملCollusion through communication in auctions
We study the extent to which communication can serve as a collusion device in one-shot firstand second-price sealed-bid auctions. Theoretically, second-price auctions are more fragile to collusion through communication than first-price auctions. In an array of laboratory experiments we vary the amount of interactions (communication and/or transfers without commitment) available to bidders. We f...
