摘要
In this paper we study the timber sales auctions in Oregon. We propose an entry and bidding model within the affiliated private value (APV) framework and with heterogeneous bidders, and establish existence of the entry equilibrium and existence and uniqueness of the bidding equilibrium with the joint distribution of private values belonging to the class of Archimedean copulas. We then estimate the resulting structural model, and find that the hauling distance plays a significant role in bidders’.entry and bidding decisions. We quantify the extent to which the potential bidders’.private values and entry costs are affiliated. The structural estimates are then
used to conduct counterfactual analyses to address policy related issues. In particular, we quantify the effects of reserve price, affiliation, and merger on the end auction outcomes.
