Abstract
This note corrects a mistake in Volij (2002) “Payoff equivalence in sealed bid auctions and the dual theory of choice under risk,” Economics Letters, 76(2), 231–237. It shows the payoff equivalence of a family of auctions when risk-averse bidders behave according to Yaari’s dual theory of choice under risk.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
