Abstract:
Within an affiliated value auction setting, we study the relationship between the number
of bidders and the winner’s curse in terms of its occurrence and its expected harm. From a
design perspective, we find that both the number of bidders and the level of affiliation are
instrumental when choosing an auction format and whether to encourage or discourage
bidder participation.
