Collaborative Research: Conference on Auctions, Firm Behavior, and Policy

这是俄克拉何马大学和科尔比学院的合作项目。该奖项将资助在俄克拉荷马州和缅因州举行的会议。会议的目标是为美国学者发展新的研究合作，包括国际合作。会议将集中讨论拍卖经济学和网络经济学。这些会议将激发这些经济学领域的新思想。将邀请采用不同方法方法的演讲者。会议组织者将邀请其他EPSCoR州的研究人员参加，包括来自堪萨斯州、阿肯色州、路易斯安那州、新罕布什尔州和佛蒙特州的研究人员。学生还将参与并在以学生为中心的会议上展示他们的研究。具体题目包括(i)拍卖和网络的结构计量经济学；(2)利用实验室和实地实验研究拍卖和讨价还价；(3)拍卖在政府采购、慈善拍卖、环境拍卖、多单位拍卖等多种场合的应用；离散策略行为建模，特别是拍卖中的进入行为；(5)拍卖设计中的公共政策问题。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This is a collaborative project between the University of Oklahoma and Colby College. The award funds conferences that will be held in Oklahoma and Maine. The goal of the conferences is to develop new research collaborations for US scholars, including international collaborations. The conferences will focus on auction economics and network economics. The conferences will stimulate new ideas in these areas of economics. Speakers who adopt different methodological approaches will be invited. The conference organizers will target researchers from other EPSCoR states for participation, including researchers from institutions in Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Students will also participate and present their research in student-focused sessions.Specific topics include (i) Structural econometrics of auctions and networks; (2) The use of lab and field experiments in the study of auctions and bargaining; (3) Applications of auctions to a range of settings, including government procurement, charity auctions, environmental auctions, and multi-unit auctions; modeling discrete strategic actions, especially entry behavior in auctions; (5) Public policy issues in auction design.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
