On (mis-)perception of probabilities in first-price sealed-bid auctions
(Economics Bulletin, 2019)
We study a two-stage probability weighting model [see Tversky and Fox 1995] in a first-price sealed-bid auction. We present the unique symmetric equilibrium and provide some experimental support for our model.
