| Abstract: | Internet-enabled markets are becoming viable venues for procurement of professional services. Bidding behaviour is investigated within the most active area of these early knowledge markets - the market for software development. These markets are important both because they provide an early view of the effectiveness of online service markets and because they have potentially large impact on how software development services are produced and provided. Using auction theory, a theoretical model that relates market characteristics to bidding and transaction behaviour is developed, taking into account costly bidding. |
