Market structure and quality uncertainty: a theoretical framework for online auction research

Abstract: Given large numbers of buyers and sellers, with access to a wide variety of information, economic theory suggests that online auction markets should provide an efficient mechanism for establishing equilibrium prices. Previous research on online auction prices, however, is far from conclusive, having produced mixed findings. The seemingly inconsistent and sometimes contradictory results make it very difficult to integrate empirical findings into a coherent body of knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to pres… Show more

Thus, rather than the characteristics of eMarketplaces determining the benefits for sellers, it is the tactics used when acting in such markets (Hou and Blodgett 2010;Spann and Tellis 2006). This points to the importance of sellers' performance and effort expectancy.…”

“…The agents' activity on electronic markets has been studied for quite a long time now [1]. Besides the analyses of overall structure of on-line auctions [4], much attention was devoted to the problem of winning strategy [11,10,18,17,15,8] and timing of the placement of bids [2,13,18,7]. The study of network aspects of on-line auctions was initiated in the work [19] and then it was investigated in depth [20,5].…”
