Recent research suggests that auction winners sometimes fall prey to a "bidder's curse", paying more for an item at … auction than they would have paid at a posted price. One explanation for this phenomenon is that bidders are inattentive to … to the opportunity cost of acquiring information about the posted price. We test our model in a laboratory experiment in …

We present results from a series of experiments that allow us to measure overbidding and, in particular, underbidding … experimental setup. To structure our data we present and test a theory of constant markdown bids. While a fraction of bidders can …
