Sequential procurement auctions [PDF]

Journal of Public Economics, 1986
Abstract Two auctions are held in sequence with the possibility of learning between the second and the first. The buyer optimally chooses to discriminate against the winner of the first auction in the second. The optimal mechanism has a discontinuity in the winner's second bid; this strictly dominates a sequence of independent sealed bid auctions.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

CoLoSSI: Multi-Robot Task Allocation in Spatially-Distributed and Communication Restricted Environments

IEEE Access
In our research, we address the problem of coordination and planning in heterogeneous multi-robot systems for missions that consist of spatially localized tasks. Conventionally, this problem has been framed as a task allocation problem that maps tasks to

Sequential Auctions in Uncertain Information Settings [PDF]

, 2008
This paper analyzes sequential auctions for private value objects using second-price sealed-bid rules. Now, the equilibrium bids for such auctions depend on the information uncertainty of the bidders. Specifically, there are three key auction parameters that the bidders could be uncertain about: the valuations of the objects for sale, the number of ...
