Identification in First-Price and Dutch Auctions when the Number of Potential Bidders is Unobservable

Author

  • Shneyerov, Art
  • Wong, Adam Chi Leung
Abstract
Within the IPV paradigm, we show nonparametric identification of model primitives for first-price and Dutch auctions with a binding reserve price and auction-specific, unobservable sets of potential bidders.
