▼ Participating in an auction and winning items by placing bids has been in practice since at least 500 B.C. Auctions have evolved since then and anyone can now participate in one online and buy items ranging from clothes, electronics, automobiles and homes using online auction websites, such as eBay. A Reverse Auction varies from the traditional style of Auction where items or services are won by placing successive higher bids until the auction ends. The study of Reverse Auction was first introduced to Texas A & M University in 2004 and continues today, using a SQL based web system. This current research provides a detailed statistical analysis of the fourth case study in this long running work. This fourth case study involved the participation of five bidders who had no prior experience in Reverse Auctions. A Microsoft Access database system and ASP web based user interface was developed and used to conduct these initial studies. However, due to the limited capability of the Access system to handle more than a limited number of connections or bidders, a Microsoft SQL database and web system was developed in 2006 and has been used in all subsequent studies. Case studies have involved up to ten participants. The results from the fourth case study show that a Reverse Auction can result in an increase in the average cost of the job to the owner. Also, there is evidence of game play amongst the bidders and against the purchaser that causes their profits to rise as they gain proficiency in the game. This behavior has been termed as 'tacit collision', but it is considered a byproduct of the system and not illegal behavior. This study analyzes the fourth study data to investigate if the behavior termed "tacit collusion" is evident in the bidding data. This analysis is completed by performing a detailed statistical analysis of the bidding data. Analysis of the profit percentages illustrates the different stages of the game play amongst the bidders. This game play behavior is illustrated by plotting average number of bids to the profit made by each bidder. The data clearly suggests that the players became efficient in their bidding strategy, although some bidders are more efficient than others. This observation negates the common conception that Reverse Auctions will result in lowering average costs for the owners. The individual data of bidders for bids and profit reveal why some players were able to obtain higher than average results and why the others were not. This study can be taken further by analyzing the patterns of the successful and unsuccessful players to determine what causes them to gain or lose profits.

▼ Reverse Auction Bidding systems are increasingly used by some large corporations for the supply of buildings, an example is the major firm Target. The belief is that the Reverse Auction Bidding system improves the efficiency of the bidding system and leads to cost savings during the construction process. Neither statement has been shown to be correct at this time. A game theory was developed for the Reverse Auction Bidding system; this theory postulated that two sub-games exist within the overall Reverse Auction Bidding game. The first sub-game is between the purchaser and the set of bidders. The purchaser is presented with a group of lowest prices that under the rules of the game must be accepted. This group of prices has been shown to have a non-normal distribution in prior research at TAMU. If economic efficiency was to be maintained by the bidding system, one would expect a normal distribution with a tight range on the standard deviation, which does not occur. The second sub-game is between the bidders, who make use of the non-normal aspects of price group to maximize individual returns. All things being equal and given the intent of the game, the purchaser would expect the bidders return to be normally distributed with a small standard deviation representing a tight control on price, which has never been observed in game play. Three types of bidders have been postulated for the set, the first is an economically efficient bidder, an economically inefficient bidder, and a middle of the road bidder. This study aims to compare statistically the difference between economically efficient bidders, Type ξ bidder, and economically inefficient bidders, Type Ϛ bidder, in terms of the statistical properties of the return data. The central hypothesis is that a statistically evident bias exists between the average return generated by the Type ξ bidder and the Type Ϛ bidder. The addition of the two distributions along with the average return generated by a Type ϕ bidder results in the observed distribution for the group, L. The secondary hypothesis is that Type ξ bidders minimize the price reduction for each bid. The first hypothesis is true, the Type ξ bidder earn on average twice the returns of the Type Ϛ bidder. The second hypothesis is not true, the Type ξ bidder as a set do not attempt to minimize the bid differentials. Further research is suggested on the statistical properties of the bid differentials as more games are played at TAMU.

▼ The theoretical and empirical study of auctions is of importance to economists as it provides unique insights into the behaviors and decision-making processes involved in the setting of prices that are otherwise unobserved in traditional fixed price sales. The papers in this dissertation look at observed outcomes from real world auctions and draw inferences as to the underlying economic behavior. The first paper examines the practice of auctioneers "fishing" for an opening bid by calling out lower and lower amounts until an opening bid is eventually proffered. I incorporate such a tactic into an auctioneer's strategy set within a game-theoretic model in which an indivisible good is sold via English ascending-price auction by a seller or auctioneer that cannot commit to a predetermined sequence of starting prices in advance. The analysis departs from previous literature by showing that the English auction is not strategically equivalent to the second-price auction within the dynamic setting. This difference has implications for the optimal starting price path, giving rise to an initial starting price consistent with the Coase conjecture. Additional price dynamics resembling "auction fever" are rationalized within this rational framework. In the second paper, I, along with a co-author, investigate theories of non-standard preferences and irrational bidding that have been used to explain the behavior of bidders in auctions online. We test these theories using data from a field experiment that we ran on eBay and supplemented with an observational dataset we collected from eBay. We find little evidence that several of these behavioral mechanisms are important in the field, and instead find behavior consistent with a standard rational model. The third paper examines the practice of shill bidding, whereby a seller in an online auction bids on his own item. To incorporate shill bidding into a seller's strategy set, I model the sale of a common value item via auction where some proportion of potential buyers have superior information and some proportion of potential sellers participate in the market only for the purpose of fraudulent selling. The model establishes the conditions under which shill bidding is supported in equilibrium.

▼ Reverse Auction Bidding (RAB) study into the construction industry commenced at Texas AandM (TAMU) University in 2004 from the work of a graduate student who was interested in the reasons for RAB being considered unethical by some. This thesis is the eleventh study into Reverse Auction Bidding building on the work of the previous researchers. Previous case studies investigated a number of different competitive situations ranging from three to ten players. In the last few studies, the bidding behavior and performance of participants in the RAB process is being observed with respect to their personality. Personality for each player is tested using the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS) test. The KTS describes four major personalities and four role variants in each of the personalities, summing up to sixteen role variants. There appears at this stage a strong correlation between personality type and game performance. This study extends the work on the Guardian personality type to investigate the four sub-types of this personality. This study builds on the previous work by analyzing the four different Guardian role variants being Provider, Protector, Inspector and Supervisor. The aim of the research is to investigate whether there is a difference in game returns between the personality type from within this group. The study involves a game scenario involving a facility manager hiring the contractors who submit the lowest bid for the assumed renovation project. The study also gives the contractor a modified KTS questionnaire that can be used by them for hiring an individual for the position of an estimator with a competent personality. The individuals were selected from undergraduate Construction Science students with limited experience. The game lasted for nine rounds, with the statistical results of the bidding and contract data showing patterns similar to the previous studies. The results show us that the individuals with a role variant of Providers provided the highest return in this case study, although a single case study is insufficient to draw formal conclusions on this matter, the result points to future research.

▼ The outcome of this research has been to gain insight into the processes of bidding for New Zealand hosted sports events with a particular focus on understanding the factors that make a successful bid. It investigated the perceptions of the two parties associated with an event bid: the event bidders and the event owners. The research has also compared and contrasted the international findings with the New Zealand findings and a model of the event bidding process (Targeted Model), from the perspective of the local government event bidder, has been developed.Of the international research that had been done on event bidding the majority had been focused towards identifying the success factors when bidding for high-profile mega-events such as the Olympic Games. At the local level, the literature review identified that no such research had been conducted on event bidding within New Zealand. This lack of research presented the opportunity to gain an insight into the event bidding process within New Zealand. Due to the competitive nature of event bidding, New Zealand event bidders tend to work in isolation and there is no collective understanding of those factors that secure a bid. This research has overcome this isolation and presented a collective understanding of the success factors.Using the grounded theory methodology, common success factors and a model of the event bidding process emerged from the data. Common success factors that were frequently mentioned by event owners and event bidders included the need for government support, providing adequate event infrastructure, previous event management experience and providing quality information. The event owners tended to focus on those factors that ensured the successful delivery of the event. In addition, the event bidders mentioned common success factors that enhanced the bid: previous bidding experience; partnerships and relationships; bid leadership; research; providing quality information; using figureheads; making an emotional connection with the decision makers.The Targeted Model identifies the critical stages in the bidding process from the perspective of the New Zealand local government event bidder. An important step in event bidding is the "Bid Development Stage" where the event bidders are attempting to fulfil, and in most cases, exceed the criteria presented by the event owners. Event bidders who achieve the state of "Best Fit" - the desired outcome of the bid process where the event owners' conscious needs and unconscious desires are best met by an event bid - will succeed in winning the bid.The significance of this research is that it is the first of its kind in New Zealand, from which further research on event bidding will be able to compare and evolve from. One of the outcomes of the grounded theory methodology is that the findings are useful for the participants. It is envisaged that the results from this research will have practical applications for the events industry as it provides useful insights to the factors that win a bid and clearly models the… Advisors/Committee Members: Johnston, Charles (advisor).

▼ There is a growing field of literature concerning the staging, management and planning for large scale sports events; the evaluation of these events and the reasons why nations, but more recently cities, attempt to host these events, but few studies have attempted to provide a theoretically informed analysis of the processes by which these decisions are made. This study builds upon those existing studies in this area which outlined a method for exploring decisions to host, but furthers the analysis through the consideration of policy models, most notably the Multiple Streams Framework (Kingdon, 1984), in order to provide a sophisticated understanding of how such policy decisions are taken at the local level. Within the context of a critical realist epistemology, case studies of three United Kingdom bids (Sheffield s bid for the 1991 Universiade; Manchester s bid for the 2000 Olympic Games and Glasgow s bid for the 2014 Commonwealth Games) were undertaken. Content analysis of documents, triangulated with semi-structured interviews with the majority of key actors involved in, and excluded from, the processes were carried out in order for geographical, methodological and theoretical triangulation to be undertaken. The three bids were selected from across a twenty year period in order to test the hypothesis that the decision-making process for events would had become more and centrally-led over time. The results indicate that, while no analytical framework provides a perfect fit , the Multiple Streams Framework and its focus on policy entrepreneurialism is highly useful in explaining the elevation of these events onto local political agendas. Despite the increased centralisation of United Kingdom sport policy, local/regional actors were able to operate with surprising freedom and take advantage of apparent coincidences in order to achieve their objectives. The wider implications of these results include providing a stimulus for researchers to build upon the limited body of literature that applies policy theory to sports policy issues and also to stimulate research in the international context.

▼ This thesis focuses on supplier selection problems where the supplier is selected based on multiple attributes rather than price only, and at least one side (buyer or supplier) has some private information that the other side does not know. Several different situations of supplier selection are modelled, equilibrium behaviors in each situation are characterized, and the effects of private information on decision making and firm profitability are examined. The first situation (presented in Chapter 3) is when a set of suppliers with asymmetric costs bid on price and non-price attributes (e.g., quality variables) in a scoring auction to win an indivisible contract from the buyer. Only one supplier will be selected. Two types of uncertainty (i.e., uncertainty on scores and uncertainty on weights) are modelled from the suppliers' perspective. The equilibrium decisions of the buyer and the suppliers are characterized, and the effect of uncertainty on the equilibrium outcome is also examined. The investigation of this situation contributes to an understanding of how the suppliers should compete on multiple attributes under uncertainty about the buyer's preferences, as well as how much information the buyer should reveal under different types of supply market (i.e., more homogeneous or heterogeneous).The second situation (presented in Chapter 4) occurs when a buyer and a supplier negotiate over the price and the quality of an object. Only the supplier makes offers, and the buyer decides whether to accept or reject. Two-sided private information is modelled, and the equilibrium behaviour is characterized. On the supplier side, the supplier has private cost information; on the buyer side, the buyer either has private information about the value of an offer to the buyer, or has private information about how important quality (i.e., the weight given to quality) is to the buyer. The equilibrium behaviors are also compared with those in a situation where only price is negotiated over. The findings shed light on the role of private information as well as the supplier's signalling behaviors. The third situation (presented in Chapter 5) relates to an A+B+I/D bidding process where a set of pre-qualified contractors compete on price and construction duration to win a construction contract from the buyer/owner. The A and B components are the price and construction duration, respectively, based on which the buyer selects the winning contractor. The I/D component represents the incentive for early completion or penalty for delay, which occurs in the end when the actual construction time is compared with the bid of construction duration. From the contractors' perspective, they not only have uncertainty about how the buyer evaluates them (i.e., score or weight), but they also have uncertainty about the actual cost of construction. The equilibrium behaviors are characterized, and the way in which the buyer should set the penalty and incentives is also examined.

▼ This paper investigates whether the bidding induces the occurrence of herding, and analyses the effects of behavioral factors, information, and fundamental characteristics of real estate on the performance of bank auction. Our sample is from July 2001 to January 2003, the real estate that intermediaries sold was held by bank in Taiwan, including 363 the real estate and the price of bidding under bank auction. We obtain some interesting implication. First of all, we find that herding of bidding not only could explain premium but also discount. After controlling informational factors and fundamental characteristics of real estate, it could not weaken the significance of herding of bidding. For the strategy of the reserve price by the vendor, the higher discount is to encourage bidding actively, which is consistent with the view of Welch (1992). Secondly, we find bidders could easily reduce search cost by observing the bidding of competitors under bank auction, and herding of bidding on the auction process could enhance efficiency of information aggregation. Furthermore, herding of bidding makes the performance of auction different between court and bank. Finally, we overcome the selective bias and find the real estate held by bank had poor performance under court auction; however, the real estate held by court had better performance under bank auction. This implies the mechanism of court auction should be transformed into the open-outcry bidding in order to achieve effective recovery of debt and the policy of reducing losses. Robustness analysis of this study, first of all, for the herd measure that not isolated from informational factors, we find the insignificant effect of behavioral factors on the performance of English mechanism, and auction premium and discount are dominated by the informational factors. Secondly, the choice of the methods about true value of real estate may affect the conditional probability of the herd measure, and make inconsistent conclusions that the effect of behavioral factors on the performance of English mechanism. Whether we choose cluster analysis or regression method to obtain the true value of real estate, the conclusion that the effect of behavioral factors on the performance of English mechanism could be supported, and those can not switch the results of the minimum sum method. Thus, the conclusion that behavioral factors influence the performance of the auction is full of evidences. Advisors/Committee Members: Anlin Chen (chair), L. Paul Hsueh (chair), Tai Ma (committee member), Chien-Chiang Lee (chair), I-Chun Tsai (chair).

A presente dissertaÃÃo trata de um dos temas mais importantes na Ãrea de licitaÃÃes pÃblicas no Brasil, o pregÃo eletrÃnico. Espera-se que uma mudanÃa de uma estrutura de licitaÃÃo tradicional, baseada em convite e tomada de preÃos, para o pregÃo eletrÃnico melhore a eficiÃncia das contrataÃÃes e gere uma economia maior para os cofres pÃblicos. Esta hipÃtese Ã testada neste trabalho utilizando dados extraÃdos de licitaÃÃes tendo como beneficiÃria a Secretaria da SaÃde do Estado do CearÃ. TrÃs modelos de regressÃo linear mÃltipla foram utilizados nÃo apenas para testar a hipÃtese que a mudanÃa de modalidade traz mais economias para o governo, mas tambÃm para identificar que fatores influenciam no diferencial entre preÃo de referÃncia e preÃo de contrataÃÃo. Os resultados dos pregÃes eletrÃnicos mostram um aumento na economia mÃdia variando entre 25 e 31 pontos percentuais quando comparadas com as licitaÃÃes tradicionais.

The present dissertation addresses one of the most important themes in the area of public bids in Brazil, the electronic bidding. It expectative that change by a structure of traditional bidding, based at invitation and taking from price, for the electronic bidding improve an efficiency the contractions and produce biggest economy to publics cofferes. This hypothesis is test in this work utilizing whether basic fact extract of bids having how beneficent the Secretariat the Health the State the CearÃ. Three models of linear regression multiple were used not only for to test the hypothesis what a change the modality bring more economy for government, but also for to identify what factores influenced in the differentiate between price the reference and price the contraction. The results the electronic bidding show one increase in the mean economy varing between 25 and 31 points percentage when compare with the traditional bidding.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo de analisar o comportamento informacional dos atores envolvidos no procedimento licitatório Pregão Eletrônico, no âmbito da Diretoria de Material da Pró-Reitoria de Administração e Finanças da Universidade Estadual de Londrina-UEL/PROAF/DM. O comportamento informacional abrange a busca e o uso da informação, desencadeado pelas necessidades informacionais oriundas do desenvolvimento do trabalho. Participaram desta pesquisa 10 pregoeiros e a coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista, com um roteiro semiestruturado que identificou suas necessidades informacionais para o trabalho de pregoeiro e as formas de busca e de uso das informações. Para coletar os dados dos processos licitatórios dos anos de 2007, 2008 e 2009, foi elaborada uma ficha que reuniu informações de uma amostra de 37 processos. Encontrou-se como resultado que a economicidade proporcionada pela modalidade Pregão Eletrônico, nestes anos ficou entre 20% e 25%, e que as necessidades informacionais dos pregoeiros da UEL são voltadas para o conhecimento do objeto a ser licitado, suas especificações e valores. As formas de busca da informação dos participantes são a leitura do edital, a consulta à Procuradoria Jurídica e aos servidores que exercem a mesma função. Eles usam a informação durante todo o processo licitatório. Assim, pode-se considerar que o comportamento informacional dos pregoeiros é de busca informacional constante, cessando apenas com a homologação de cada procedimento licitatório.

The current research was aimed at analyzing the actors informational behavior related to the Electronic Auction Bidding Process within the Directory of Materials from the Administration and Finance Pro-Rector Sector at Londrina State University - UEL/PROAF/DM. The informational behavior harbours the search and usage of information triggered by the informational needs steming from either individual or collective development. 10 criers participated in this research and the data collected was conducted through interviews with a semi-structured questionnaire which identified their informational needs for their job and ways to search and use the information abtained. In order to collect data from the bidding processes from the years 2007, 2008 and 2009, we created a form that gathered information from a sample of 37 cases. It was known that the resulting savings from Electronic Auction mode studied in these years was between 20% and 25% and that the information needs of UEL preachers are designed to understand the object to be bid, specifications, and values. The ways of searching information that the participants used are directed to reading the public announcement as well as checking with the Legal Department and co-workers. They use the information during the whole bidding process. Therefore, it can be considered that the preachers behavior is a constant informational searching, which is ceased only with the agreement of every bidding procedure.

▼ Reverse Auction Bidding (RAB) is a recently developed procurement method that can be used by the construction industry. The technique is different from a traditional auction system, since RAB system uses a bidding activity method that is completed anonymously by pre-qualified bidders during a fixed auction time. The basic premise for the auction is that the current best auction price is available for viewing during the whole auction process by both bidders and owner. The apparent incentive is for noncompetitive bidders to lower the price. There are however controlling factor beyond the reach of owners, such as market demand, lending restrictions, stakeholder expectations and risk tolerance levels, that impact on price levels. However, owners continue to attempt to drive down prices using this technique. A study into the mechanics of RAB was launched at Texas A&M University in 2004. This ongoing study of RAB continues to this time with eighteen case studies. This nineteenth study looks at the time series bid data from some of the prior work. Nine case studies were selected from the previous case studies. These nine studies provided untainted data with 6674 RAB bid arrivals by prior investigator actions. This study concerns the statistical process of bid arrivals with time. The hypothesis to be tested is that the RAB bid arrivals timing can be modeled with a statistical process. The analysis reviewed the fit for several types of distribution, including Gaussian and Poissionian. The best fit was modeled by non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP). The first conclusion from the analysis is that RAB bid arrivals follows a Poisson process, termed non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP). The second conclusion is that the controlling Poissionian process has a square root factor. The NHPP model for RAB provides a tool for future studies of RAB in real time. Future work is suggested on the inter-time periods for the bidding. Advisors/Committee Members: Nichols, John M. (advisor), Holland, Nancy L. (committee member), Nichols, Anne B. (committee member).

▼ Reverse Auction Bidding is a recently developed auction method. In this form of bidding process, the roles of the bidders and the owner are interchanged in terms of the form of the economic transaction. The owner's objective is to drive the unit rates down and the bidder's objective is to maintain an acceptable profit level. A study into Reverse Auction Bidding commenced at Texas A&M University in 2004 and continues to this time, with this the eighteenth study in the series. This study is the second multi-group study in the research. In this study, a multiple group comparison was made between different numbers of bidders, with Games One, Two and Three having three, four and ten bidders respectively. All participants were faculty and students from the Department of Construction Science. The critical requirement for the participants is that they should have no prior experience using the Reverse Auction Bidding system. The eighteen studies have concentrated on new players, with future studies planned for repeat participants. A number of the recent case studies have shown personality has an impact on the performance of the bidders. However, this work was not controlled for personality, as the research objective was to determine the impact of a different number of bidders in a game. The Keirsey Temperament Sorter test was completed by all participants so that the results could be understood in terms of personality impact on the level of return to each participant. The results showed the number of bidders has a significant impact on the individual returns confirming the earlier work on varying the number of bidders. An increase in the number of bidders was shown to lead to a more competitive economic environment, which given usual economic circumstances lead to a reduction in the number of firms interested in bidding, for the self-evident economic reasons. This work points to the need to investigate a bidding group size of five or six, which is likely to be the self-constrained upper limit in a real economic system. Some interesting observations on the personality types suggest that further work is required in this area. Advisors/Committee Members: Holland, Nancy L. (advisor), Nichols, John M. (advisor), Deyong, Sarah (committee member).

▼ This dissertation deals with the problem bidders have to solve to formulate their bids in two types of auctions: reverse and combinatorial auctions. In reverse procurement auctions the object for sale is a contract, bidders are suppliers, and the bid taker is a buyer. The suppliers bidding for the contract are usually the current supplier (the incumbent) and a group of potential new suppliers (the entrants). Since the buyer has an ongoing relationship with the incumbent, he needs to adjust the bids of the entrants to include non-price attributes. The buyer can run a scoring auction, in which suppliers compete on the adjusted bids or scores, or, he can run a buyer-determined auction, in which suppliers compete on the price, and the buyer adjusts the bids with the non-price attributes after the auction to determine the winner. In the second chapter I study the bidding strategies in a buyer-determined auction in which an incumbent and a group of suppliers compete for a contract. When different types of suppliers compete (for example domestic and foreign suppliers), practitioners have observed that domestic suppliers stop bidding after observing a low bid from the foreign competitors, even though the domestic suppliers dominate their foreign competitors in non-price dimensions. To mitigate this anticompetitive behavior, the feedback given to suppliers in the auction changed from the bid price to the bid rank. In the third chapter, I study the bidding strategies when two suppliers of different type compete in a reverse auction with rank feedback. Finally, in the fourth chapter, I study the bidding strategies in sealed-bid combinatorial auctions. Combinatorial auctions are auctions of multiple heterogeneous objects that allow bids on subsets of the objects, giving bidders the flexibility to express if the objects in a set are more valuable together than separate. This added flexibility makes it possible for the bidders to express a variety of preferences, but also complicates the problem they need to solve to find their bidding strategies. I present the problem a bidder has to solve in a combinatorial auction of two objects, in which bidders submit mutually exclusive bids once and winners pay their bids.

▼ Construction firms, being project based organizations, have to develop their project management capacity in order to accomplish firm and project objectives successfully. Copare (1990) stated that, the number of business failures in the construction industry is high and the high failure rate is not because contractors do not know the techniques of construction but rather they have not developed their management skills. Among such skills one is the project cost management. This research work presents several issues related to current project cost management practices of national contractors. The practice of 34 general and building contractors is investigated via questionnaires. Existing practices related with estimating and tendering, budgeting and cost controlling were assessed in view of identifying shortcomings and limitations associated with each functions. The research findings indicated that the success rate of tender offers is below 50% for 80% of the surveyed contractors and 67% among these, have a success rate less than 25%. The highest ranking responsible factor is tough competition, which is also aggravated by absence or lack of bidding strategy by the contractors. The results moreover indicated that most of the surveyed contractors are unable to obtain the profit they anticipate from their projects. 86% of the contractors have obtained below 75% of the amount they expected from most of the projects they have undertaken so far. Among these, 48% obtained less than 50% of the anticipated amount. The major contributing factors, in the order of their influence are price escalation, delays caused by owners and/or consultants, inadequate financial planning practices, lack of cost controlling system and inaccuracy of the estimates prepared during the tendering stage.
