Overbidding in second-price auctions (SPAs) has been shown to be persistent and associated with cognitive ability. We study experimentally to what extent cross-game learning can reduce overbidding in SPAs, taking into account cognitive skills. Employing an order-balanced design, we use...

Overbidding in sealed-bid second-price auctions (SPAs) has been shown to be persistent and associated with cognitive ability. We study experimentally to what extent cross-game learning can reduce overbidding in SPAs, taking into account cognitive skills. Employing an order-balanced design, we...

We compared the effect of delayed payment on overbidding in the induced value SPAs with the … conventional “on-the-spot” payment mechanism when the subjects received an endowment on the experiment day, and the prepaid …

We propose a novel approach to the modelling of second-price Maximum-Value auctions that assumes no belief about others' behavior and no expected profit maximization. This individual decision-making model, naïve Impulse Balance Equilibrium or nIBE, deals with bidders' anticipated regrets from...
