Abstract

Few forms of market exchange intrigue economists as do auctions, whose theoretical and practical implications are enormous. John Kagel and Dan Levin, complementing their own distinguished research with papers written with other specialists, provide a new focus on common value auctions and the "winner's curse." In such auctions the value of each item is about the same to all bidders, but different bidders have different information about the underlying value. Virtually all auctions have a common value element; among the burgeoning modern-day examples are those organized by Internet companies such as eBay. Winners end up cursing when they realize that they won because their estimates were overly optimistic, which led them to bid too much and lose money as a result. The authors first unveil a fresh survey of experimental data on the winner's curse. Melding theory with the econometric analysis of field data, they assess the design of government auctions, such as the spectrum rights (air wave) auctions that continue to be conducted around the world. The remaining chapters gauge the impact on sellers' revenue of the type of auction used and of inside information, show how bidders learn to avoid the winner's curse, and present comparisons of sophisticated bidders with college sophomores, the usual guinea pigs used in laboratory experiments. Appendixes refine theoretical arguments and, in some cases, present entirely new data. This book is an invaluable, impeccably up-to-date resource on how auctions work--and how to make them work.

Abstract

"La presse professionnelle se fait regulierement l'echo de paradoxes qui traversent le management dans le secteur public. Les paradoxes apparaissent au coeur des problematiques des managers, comme une des formes centrales de management de ces structures. Peu de travaux de recherche ont porte sur l'analyse des paradoxes dans les organisations publiques. Cet ouvrage collectif se propose de regrouper les reflexions et analyses des chercheurs et des praticiens specialistes de cette question. Pour analyser ces paradoxes, cet ouvrage procede en deux temps : d'une part, nous centrons la presentation des problematiques auxquelles sont confrontes les managers en les situant dans leurs contextes historiques, sociologiques et organisationnels ; d'autre part, nous procedons à une comprehension fine du phenomene etudie à travers des exemples de paradoxes analyses dans des contextes multiples d'organisations publiques (hôpitaux, collectivites territoriales, secteur de la culture, etc.). Ce second temps est un complement indispensable à l'analyse de ces contradictions, qui ancre les illustrations dans les pratiques des managers. Nous montrons la dimension contradictoire du management, à la fois en tant que moyen de gerer les paradoxes de ces organisations (p. ex., mise en place d'un nouveau modele d'organisation visant la reduction des tensions qui emaillent les situations du travail), et en tant que processus createur de paradoxes (p. ex., prôner le pilotage en renforçant le contrôle, developper des dispositifs de " desadministration " generant la mise en place d'un dispositif administratif complexe)."--Page 4 de la couverture.
