We propose a structural econometric evaluation for auctions with discrete increments. Although very common in practice, this kind of mechanism raises many theoretical difficulties. First, there are no closed form equilibriumstrategies. Thus the econometrician cannot rely on a single formula to...

This econometric study analyzes market bid functions for French Treasury Bills. We use the results of 125 discriminatory bill auctions during 1995 to determine the factors that affect the shape of the aggregate demand functions. We proceed in two step, we estimate the parameters of a logistic...

The paper reports on a series of experiments in asymmetric First-and Second-Price auctions with private-independent values. The data reveals that although subjects did realize the strategic implications of the asymmetric setting, a significant overbidding pattern was found in First-Price...
