Tiivistelmä: | Analyzing the optimal bidding behaviour in ascending-bid actions and second-price sealed-bid auctions with independent private values, it is shown that expected utility maximizing behaviour is equivalent to dynamically consistent bidding in ascending-bid auctions. On the other hand the equivalence of the optimal bids in ascending-bid auctions and in second-price sealed-bid auctions is analyzed and finally, bidding the value of the object in second-price sealed-bid auctions is described. In addition, the optimal bid in ascending-bid auctions equals the value of the object if and only if the bidder's preferences on lotteries are both quasi-concave and quasi-convex. |
