Nonparametric Identification, Estimation, and Testing of Auction Models

Quang Vuong南加州大学SBR-9631212 本研究将试图发展一种限制较少的理论和实证方法来分析拍卖。 研究包括三个部分：拍卖模型的非参数识别，估计使用多步非参数间接程序和测试博弈论的拍卖模型施加的限制。 将开发的新方法将用于分析以下数据：Marmande的茄子拍卖、Mazamet的木材拍卖、ONF木材拍卖、CNES采购拍卖和美国外大陆架拍卖。 这项研究的结果可能会让私人和政府团体，以改善未来的拍卖设计。

Quang Vuong University of Southern California SBR-9631212 This research will attempt to develop a less restrictive theoretical and empirical approach to the analysis of auctions. The research consists of three parts: nonparametric identification in an auction model, estimation using multi-step nonparametric indirect procedures and testing game theoretic restrictions imposed by an auction model. The new approaches to be developed will be applied to the analysis of the following data: eggplant auctions in Marmande, timber auctions in Mazamet, ONF Timber auctions, CNES procurement auctions and U.S. outer continental shelf auctions. The output of this research may allow private and governmental groups to improve the design of future auctions.
