Abstract: | In this paper the authors propose an estimation method for the empirical study of theoretical auction models. The authors focus on first-price sealed bid and descending auctions and they adopt the private value paradigm, where each bidder is assumed to have a different private value, only known to him, for the object that is auctioned. The proposed method is based on simulations. The authors illustrate the proposed method by studying a market of agricultural products, where descending auctions are used. |
