摘要
在本文中,我们估计了网上拍卖的低效率。由于网络欺诈,网上拍卖效率低下。网络欺诈的一个典型例子是,卖家即使收到了付款,也不向中标者发送货物。因此,投标人始终承担欺诈风险,这种风险可能导致交易失败。在我们的实证例子中,我们使用2009年举行的eBay PlayStation 3拍卖。我们发现,超过5%的在线拍卖的效率损失超过30美元。此外,我们还发现,无效的在线拍卖的概率大于0.25。
In this paper, we estimate the inefficiency in online auctions. Online auctions can be inefficient due to the Internet fraud. A typical example of Internet fraud is when sellers do not send goods to winning bidders even though they have received payment. Therefore, bidders always bear a risk of fraud, and this risk may lead to transaction failure. In our empirical example, we use eBay PlayStation 3 auctions held in 2009. We find that the efficiency loss is over $30 for more than 5% of online auctions. Furthermore, we also find the probability of the inefficient online auction is more than 0.25.
