Abstract: | This article examines the properties of independent- private-value all-pay and winner-pay auctions when there are multiple units sold. The authors study bidding behavior, efficiency, and revenue in a set of 23 experimental sessions. The authors' data show that the all-pay auction and the winner-pay auction are empirically revenue equivalent, though both yield higher revenue than the risk neutral Bayesian equilibrium. The authors' evidence also suggests that the winner-pay auction is more likely to lead to a Pareto-efficient allocation than the all-pay auction. The article provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
