    We show that it is beneficial for a buyer to conduct a multi-stage mechanism if bidders are loss averse. In a first step, we derive a revenue equivalence principle. Fixing the multi-stage structure, the revenue is independent of the chosen payment rule. Secondly, we introduce a simple two-stage mechanism which always leads to a decrease in procurement costs compared to any single-stage auction. Finally we derive the optimal efficient two-stage mechanism.

    We study the use of financial contracts as bid-coordinating device in multi-unit uniform price auctions. Coordination is required whenever firms face a volunteer's dilemma in pricing strategies: one firm (the "volunteer") is needed to increase the market clearing price. Volunteering, however, is costly, as inframarginal suppliers sell their entire capacity whereas the volunteer only sells residual demand. We identify conditions under which signing financial contracts solves this dilemma. We test our framework exploiting data on contract positions by large producers in the New York power market. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, we show that the contracting strategy is payoff dominant and provide estimates of the benefits of such strategy.

    We study the role of commitment in a first-price auction environment. We devise a simple two-stage model in which bidders first submit an initial offer that the auctioneer can observe and then make a counteroffer. There is no commitment on the auctioneer's side to accept an offer as is or even to choose the lowest bidder. We compare this setting to a standard first-price auction both theoretically and experimentally. While theory suggests that the offers and the auctioneer's revenue should be higher in a standard first-price auction compared to the first-price auction with renegotiation, we cannot confirm these hypotheses in the experiment.

    Anchoring is one of the most studied and robust behavioral biases, but there is little knowledge about its persistence in strategic settings. This article studies the role of anchoring bias in private-value auctions. We test experimentally two different anchor types. The announcement of a random group identification number but also of an upper bid limit in the first-price sealed-bid auction result in higher bids. We show that such behavior can be explained as a rational response to biased beliefs. In Dutch auctions, the effect of a starting price, is negative. We demonstrate that the long-established ranking that the Dutch auction generates lower revenue than the first-price sealed-bid auction crucially depends on the size of the anchor.

    The rapid development of the transportation industry has motivated companies and researchers to develop methods in order to reduce costs and increase productivity. This has led collaborative relationships to become one main trend in transportation. This work focuses specifically on the study of request exchange mechanisms that offer carriers the opportunity to improve their sets of requests and obtain efficiency gains. First, a new type of problem scenario is introduced, combining various attributes: a pickup and delivery problem with multiple regions, multiple depots and multiple transportation modes. This includes an extensive literature review and mathematical models from simple and well-known scenarios to the multi-region multi-depot pickup and delivery problem. Second, regression-based estimation models are presented. These models provide fast predictions for the travel distance for various problems. This is very helpful for evaluating the costs for servicing requests. Finally, frameworks for auction-based and posted price request-exchange mechanisms are presented. All mechanisms are tested within the same scenario and their results are compared aiming to obtain insights regarding the efficiency gains they offer and the amount of information required for their application.
