Testing Whether Field Auction Experiments Are Demand Revealing in Practice

Jay Corrigan () and Matthew Rousu

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2008, vol. 33, issue 2

We present a simple technique for testing whether field auction mechanism and, by extension, whether auction bids provide an unbiased estimate of participants' willingness to pay.
