OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Estimation of an auction model with strategic uncertainty
I propose a model for analysing bidding under strategic uncertainty. Bidders do not know the entire distribution of the bids of the other bidders. Instead, they only know the first M moments of the bid distribution. I estimate the model with experimental data. Preliminary analysis suggests that my decision model with knowledge of only the first moment predicts the bidders’ values better than an equilibrium-based model with knowledge of the entire distribution.
