OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Robust Bidding in First-Price Auctions: How to Bid without Knowing what Others are Doing (joint with Karl Schlag)
We introduce a novel and general method for how to make choices without assuming common knowledge or equilibrium behavior. We apply this method to bidding in first-price auctions and test our recommendations using data on bidding in auctions. The method prescribes to first rule out some environments and then to find a so-called robust (bidding) rule that performs well in each of those remaining. This method generates explicit bidding recommendations that we test in laboratory experimental auctions as well as in field data which come from timber auctions. Our recommendations outperform the bids made in the data.
