''On (mis-)perception of probabilities in first-price sealed-bid auctions''
( 2019, Vol. 39 No.1 )
 
 
We study a two-stage probability weighting model [see Tversky and Fox, 1995] in a first-price sealed-bid auction. We present the unique symmetric equilibrium and provide some experimental support for our model.
 
 
Keywords: First-price auctions, Overbidding, Probability misperception, Subjective probability weighting
