Competition among sellers who offer auctions instead of prices
Article Abstract:
An evaluation of competitive activities among traders offering auctions reveals that equilibria in prices exists and may be different under certain conditions. The study evaluates competitive advantage of one seller over the other under conditions where buyers know the price of the stock beforehand and under conditions wherein buyers have no prior knowledge of stock price. The efficiency of properties of the resulting equilibria shows major differences.

Tacit collusion in repeated auctions
Article Abstract:
The possibility of a collusion in repeated auctions through implicit transfers of equilibrium continuation payoffs is analyzed. It is observed that with a finite number of players, public observation of the winner's identity is only enough to sustain a certain amount of profitable collusion, but is enough to extract all of the surplus.
