This chapter discusses structural econometric approaches to auctions. Remarkably, much of
what can be learned from auction data can be learned without restrictions beyond those …

This paper proposes a general approach and a computationally convenient estimation
procedure for the structural analysis of auction data. Considering first‐price sealed‐bid …

This paper presents new identification results for models of first–price, second–price,
ascending (English), and descending (Dutch) auctions. We consider a general specification …

In this article we develop an equilibrium search model with a continuous distribution of firm
productivity types within a given labor market. We characterize equilibrium, derive …

In this paper we consider a first-price sealed bid auction with a secret reservation price.
Such auctions are used frequently in France to sell timber. Within the independent private …

The econometrics of auction data are driven by practical and theoretical considerations.
First, the use of auctions is quickly spreading to minimize transaction costs, to mitigate …

Recent advances in the application of game theory to the study of auctions have spawned a
growing empirical literature involving both experimental and field data. In this paper, we …

In this paper, we survey some recent empirical work concerning auctions, first outlining two
complementary approaches to the empirical analysis of auctions, and then discussing …

This article considers a first-price sealed-bid auction at which the seller's reservation price is
not announced in advance. We allow for a second round of bargaining and consider the …

We consider inference on the probability density of valuations in the first-price sealed-bid
auctions model within the independent private value paradigm. We show the asymptotic …
