Simultaneous auctions of identical items by first-price close mechanism with a bonus for buyers

Objective: In this paper we study, from the seller’s perspective, how to auction a finite set of identical items when the buyer who obtains the whole set of goods (if any) gets a bonus, such that the seller maximizes his expected revenue and taking into account the strategic behavior of the bidders....

Descripción
Sumario:Objective: In this paper we study, from the seller’s perspective, how to auction a finite set of identical items when the buyer who obtains the whole set of goods (if any) gets a bonus, such that the seller maximizes his expected revenue and taking into account the strategic behavior of the bidders.   Methodology: We use Bayesian Games for modelling the situation considering a strategy space equal to R+m  for each bidder.   Results: We show a Symmetric Bayesian Equilibrium for the model as well as the seller’s indifference between several natural ways for offering the bonus to a bidder getting the whole set of items, because he obtains the same expected revenue.   Limitations: The model regards only identical items.   Originality: We show an equilibrium bid for a n-personal model of m Simultaneous Auctions under first-price close mechanism considering that there is a kind of extra profit.   Conclusions: The seller is indifferent between several ways to offer the bonus. It could be interesting to contrast the theoretical results under an experimental framework.
