Differences in bidding strategies
European Journal of Operational Research, 1987Abstract Methodological understanding is increased and the appreciation of discernible competitive bidding strategies widened by investigating the problems of two construction companies, one being a kitchen equipment manufacturer and the other a civil engineering contractor. Detailed strategies are estimated for the former but not for the latter, due

Journal of the Construction Division, 1976
Current competitive bidding strategies and their deficiencies are reviewed. A new bidding strategy method (LOMARK) is presented for use by small to medium-sized contractors working in the local market environment. The method estimates an optimal markup by predicting the chances of winning future bids by treating the local market structure as a single ...

To Bid or Not To Bid Agent Strategies in Electronic Auction Games
2001This paper presents the results and analysis of the Fishmarket tournament held this spring at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) by a group of undergraduate students as a course work for an artificial intelligence applications course. In the tournament participated sixteen different agents that competed in a three phase eliminatory ...

A comparison of bidding strategies for simultaneous auctions
ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2006Bidding for multiple items or bundles on online auctions raise challenging problems. We assume that an agent has a valuation function that returns its valuation for an arbitrary bundle. In the real world all or most of the items of interest to an agent is not present in a single combinatorial auction.

2011 International Conference on Management and Service Science, 2011
The paper models the toehold acquisition and bid price decision problem faced by bidders in takeovers. The model builds upon the model of takeover proposed by Grossman and Hart (1980) and its later extensions by Shleifer and Vishny (1986) , Hirshleifer and Titman (1990) and Chowdhry and Jegadeesh (1994).

On stochastic optimal bidding strategy for microgrids
2015 IEEE 34th International Performance Computing and Communications Conference (IPCCC), 2015In this paper, we addressed the issue of a stochastic optimal bidding problem for a system with microgrids (MGs). The optimal bidding problem is formulated as a two-stage stochastic programming process, which aims to minimize the system operation cost and to expand energy interactions among local MGs that are geographically close.

Bidding Strategies and Probabilities
Journal of the Construction Division, 1967Seven competitive bidding strategies for optimizing profits in construction contracting are developed; namely: (1) Lone Bidder Strategy—no competitors; (2) Two Bidders Strategy—one competitor; (3) Many Bidders Strategy—more than one competitor, number and identity of competitors not known; (4) All Bidders Known Strategy—more than one competitor, number

A Competitive-Bidding Strategy
Operations Research, 1956A method is presented that determines optimum bids in a competitive-bidding situation where each competitor submits one closed bid. The number of bidders may be large or may be unknown. This method makes use of the previous “bidding patterns” of all possible opposition bidders and in the case where the bidding is on contracts, the estimated ...

Evaluating bidding strategies for simultaneous auctions
Proceedings of the fifth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems, 2006Bidding for multiple items or bundles on online auctions raises challenging problems. We assume that an agent has a valuation function that returns its valuation for an arbitrary bundle. In the real world all or most of the items of interest to an agent is not present in a single combinatorial auction. We study the problem of bidding for multiple items

Bidding strategies in dynamic electricity markets
Decision Support Systems, 2005In this paper the problem of developing bidding strategies for the participants of dynamic oligopolistic electricity markets is studied. Attention is given to strategic bidding of load serving entities (LSE) in these markets. We model oligopolistic electricity markets as non-linear dynamical systems and use discrete-time Nash bidding strategies.
