What Is E-Reverse Auctions?
hello so i got a question from my teacher and wanna make sure its correct
here is the question:
A company is considering the strategy to further expand its activity into a foreign market it recently accessed. The foreign government has announced that a new industrial site will be offered for sale on a competitive tender basis, the site going to the company making the highest bid. The multinational has a good experience with this type of auctions, and – based on its assessment – it decides that if it is to bid for the site, it will place a bid of £750 million. In the past, 70 percent of the company’s bids for such type of projects have been successful.
The marketing department indicates that expansions of the multinational’s foreign market activity can be expected to generate revenue of around £1,500 million if demand turns out to be high, versus only £500 million if demand turns out to be low. Data scientists have indicated that the probability of high demand is 0.60.
If the company is…
If some auction participants for crude-oil field leases have estimates that the oil in the ground is worth $1.2 million, $1.3 million, or $1.5 million with certainty; other auction participants have estimates that the same oil field lease is worth $1.1 million, $1.3 million, or $1.5 million with certainty; and a third group of auction participants have estimates that the same oil field lease is worth $1.1 million, $1.2 million, or $1.3 million, and all three forecasts contain the true common value, what is that value? How would you as auctioneer-seller design an auction to reduce strategic underbidding and realize this true value?

Two Örms compete for a contract to build a university building. Their construction costs are independent and uniformly drawn from [0; 1]: (a) Suppose the auction is conducted as follows. Price starts at 1 (at this price both bidders would be happy to win the project). The price goes down continuously: at time t 2 [0;1]; the price will be 1 t. At any time t; any bidder can shout ìáoccinaucinihilipiliÖcious.î Once that happens, the price will stop to decline. The bidder who remains silent becomes the winner and he is paid the price at that moment. If both players say it at the same time, the auction ends without a winner. If no player speaks until t = 1 (and the price will be zero by then), the game ends and a winner is selected randomly for a price of 0: Analyze this auction.
