No 610, Department of Economics - Working Papers Series from The University of Melbourne

Abstract: The study addresses the issue of sustainability of collusion in one-sided auctions. Earlier experimental studies indicate that, in double oral auctions, collusion is hard to sustain even if conspiracy is allowed and quotation improvement rules are absent. We investigate the role of similar institutional features in one-sided auctions.
