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

这是俄克拉荷马大学和科尔比学院的合作项目。该奖项为将在俄克拉何马州和缅因州举行的会议提供资金。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想法。将邀请采用不同方法的发言者。会议组织者将瞄准来自EPSCoR其他州的研究人员参加，包括来自堪萨斯州、阿肯色州、路易斯安那州、新罕布夏州和佛蒙特州机构的研究人员。学生还将参与并在以学生为中心的课程中介绍他们的研究。具体主题包括(I)拍卖和网络的结构计量经济学；(2)拍卖和讨价还价研究中实验室和现场实验的使用；(3)拍卖在一系列环境中的应用，包括政府采购、慈善拍卖、环境拍卖和多单位拍卖；模拟离散的战略行动，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NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
