Multiplicative Bidding And Convergence To Equilibrium, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

General equilibrium strategies may be relatively difficult to determine. While multiplicative strategies may be much simpler to calculate, they are not in general in equilibrium. An example shows that such strategies may indeed be quite far from equilibrium. However, if the example is iterated using Bayesian decision analysis, the strategies quickly converge to being very nearly in equilibrium.

An Example Of A Multi-Object Auction Game, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Multi-object auctions are traditionally analyzed as if they were a number of simultaneous independent single object auctions. Such an approximation may be very crude if bidders have budget restrictions, capacity constraints, or, in general, have non-linear utility functions. This paper presents a very simple multi-object auction for which explicit equilibrium strategies can be calculated; these equilibrium strategies have several qualitative characteristics arising from the multi-object nature of the example and therefore not present in typical single object auctions.

A Model For The Distribution Of The Number Of Bidders In An Auction, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The distribution of the number of bidders in auctions with uncertain numbers is usually assumed to be Poisson. The observed distribution, for example in OCS Federal Offshore Oil Lease Sales, is apparently not Poisson. A simple model is presented showing that if the objects have different values and individuals tend to only bid on objects with high value, then the resulting distribution of the number of bidders will not be Poisson. The results of the model correspond closely to data observed in Federal Offshore Oil lease auctions and the model is simple enough so that it may be of practical …

Auctions And Bidding Models: A Survey, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Auctions and bidding models are attracting an ever increasing amount of attention. The Stark and Rothkopf (1977) bibliography includes approximately 500 papers on the subject; additional work has been reported since the bibliography was compiled. This paper presents a general framework for classifying and describing various auctions and bidding models, and surveys the major results of the literature in terms of this framework.

Comparison Of Public Choice Systems, Robert J. Weber

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The area of social decision-making is one in which the disciplines of game theory, political science, and economics all meet. One of the simplest decisions to be faced is the election of one candidate from several. Various voting systems have been proposed for such elections. In order to compare these systems in terms of their tendency to elect a candidate representative of the voters’ preferences, a measure of “effectiveness” has been developed. The study of the effectiveness of voting systems is continued in this paper. In particular, two families of voting systems are found to contain three- and four-candidate systems …

Nigeria's Economic Outlook, B. U. Ekong

Bullion

The immediate post-war era brought into the Nigerian economy some of the most significant structural transformations ever imagined. From a position of dominant dependence on agriculture, the Nigerian economy swang over to that of dominant dependence on crude petroleum production for foreign exchange earnings, for government revenues and as the main source of incomes for investment, trade and general economic development. The article therefore reviews the post war policies covering 1973 to 1977. The paper further discusses Nigeria's economic outlook while focusing on fiscal outlook, exchange control measures, petroleum export, private sector investment, income policy, monetary and fiscal policy measures.

The Role Of Agriculture In The Nigerian Economy, A. O.G. Otiti

Bidding In Auctions With Multiplicative Lognormal Errors: An Example, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Auction models with lognormally-distributed multiplicative errors are used extensively in models of mineral lease sales. Equilibrium strategies are typically difficult to calculate; multiplicative strategies are often used as approximations. An example based on a federal offshore oil lease sale shows that multiplicative strategies may be quite far from being in equilibrium. However, under a special form of repetition, such strategies converge very rapidly to an equilibrium. The effects of any fixed costs, the reservation price, the number of bidders and the variance of the error are examined briefly for this example.
