Frictions in internet auctions with many traders: A counterexample

Javier Donna, Pablo Schenone and Gregory Veramendi

Economics Letters, 2016, vol. 138, issue C, 81-84

Abstract: We show that when frictions are present, the Peters and Severinov (2006) (PS) bidding rule is no longer efficient nor a PBE of the PS game. Researchers should be cautious when using the PS bidding rule in markets with frictions like eBay.
