In this paper, we study the seller-optimal auctions for auction design environments with pure informational externalities, and investigate the effects of outside options on auction outcomes. If the seller's outside option is endogenous and depends on the information structure of the market, we show that the seller sells the good more often as the auction design environment merges into the standard private-value auction setting. If the seller's outside option does not depend on the information structure of the market, we show that the relationship between the degree of informational externalities and sale decisions in seller-optimal auctions is ambiguous.

The Effects of Outside Options on Optimal Auction Outcomes
Küçükşenel, Serkan (2013-01-01)
In this paper, we study the seller-optimal auctions for auction design environments with pure informational externalities, and investigate the effects of outside options on auction outcomes. If the seller's outside option is endogenous and depends on the information structure of the market, we show that the seller sells the good more often as the auction design environment merges into the standard private-value auction setting. If the seller's outside option does not depend on the information structure of t...
The scope of auctions in the presence of downstream interactions and information externalities
Koska, Ahmet Onur; Onur, Ilke; Staehler, Frank (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-01)
We scrutinize the scope of auctions for firm acquisitions in the presence of downstream interactions and information externalities. We show that no mechanism exists that allows an investor to acquire a low-cost firm under incomplete information: a separating auction implies adverse selection and relies substantially on commitment to allocation and transfer rules. A pooling auction serves as a commitment device against ex-post opportunistic behavior and alleviates adverse selection. It can earn the investor ...
The Role of Outside Option for Sellers and Exogenous BreakDown Rate on Trading: An Experimental Analysis
Büyükboyacı Hanay, Mürüvvet İlknur (null; 2019-09-05)
This paper analyzes how trading and prices change in a double auction environment with outside option for sellers which is given with a probability if trade does not occur in the market, through an experiment. We assume that before the double auction occurs, outside option is announced. By knowing both announced outside option and offers and bids in the double auction (market), a seller chooses between selling his/her good in the market now and receiving outside option in the next round if the game continue...
The Impact of Macro-Economic Drivers in Housing Markets: The US Cas
Yılmaz, Bilgi; Yerlikaya Özkurt, Fatma; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2021-08-01)
This paper analyzes the effect of macro-economic, financial and commodity market indicators on housing markets. We compare the efficiency of the models generated by Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) according to method free measures for estimating the housing market trend. These models are used for the first time to identify the influence of macro-economic indicators on housing markets and the estimation of the trend in housing markets to our best knowledge....
Optimization of long-term investments of electric distribution systems considering planning metrics
KOC, Mehmet; TOR, Osman Bulent; CEBECI, Mahmut Erkut; Güven, Ali Nezih; GULER, Firat; TASKIN, Hacer; TUNCER, Atiye; OKUL, Ufuk (2017-04-21)
This paper presents a dynamic planning algorithm methodology which optimizes long-term primary electric distribution network investments considering planning metrics. An algorithm which calculates a representative primary network model of distribution grids, whose primary and secondary networks are intricate, is developed. It is aimed to facilitate assessment of primary distribution network investment requirements and thereby defining grid investment candidates effectively. A planning algorithm, which consi...
