“…The selection effect introduced in this paper has been subsequently studied in Einav and Esponda (2008), Roberts and Sweeting (2010a,b), and Coviello and Mariniello (2010). Einav and Esponda (2008) and Roberts and Sweeting (2010a) investigate the effects of bidder asymmetries; the latter paper considers second-price and open outcry auctions.…”

What Model for Entry in First-Price Auctions? A Nonparametric Approach

We develop a selective entry model for first-price auctions that nests several models earlier proposed in the literature, and features a pro-competitive selection effect. The selection effect is shown to be nonparametrically identifiable, and a nonparametric test for its presence is proposed. In the empirical application to highway procurement, we find that the selection effect overwhelms the anticompetitive entry effect identified in earlier research, and restricting competition is not optimal.

“…What constitutes an anomalous volume of alerts that requires the attention of a network defense analyst differs across organizations, network environments, and threat types (Bhatt et al, 2014 ). Admin alert thresholds are pre-defined values that signify an anomalous number of alerts within the WACDT (Coviello and Mariniello, 2010 ). The SSLBL score of an alert is directly related to the admin alert threshold it is associated with.…”

Vigilance decrement refers to a psychophysiological decline in the capacity to sustain attention to monotonous tasks after prolonged periods. A plethora of experimental tasks exist for researchers to study vigilance decrement in classic domains such as driving and air traffic control and baggage security; however, the only cyber vigilance tasks reported in the research literature exist in the possession of the United States Air Force (USAF). Moreover, existent cyber vigilance tasks have not kept up with advances in real-world cyber security and consequently no longer accurately reflect the cognitive load associated with modern network defense. The Western Australian Cyber Defense Task (WACDT) was designed, engineered, and validated. Elements of network defense command-and-control consoles that influence the trajectory of vigilance can be adjusted within the WACDT. These elements included cognitive load, event rate, signal salience and workload transitions. Two forms of the WACDT were tested. In static trials, each element was adjusted to its maximum level of processing difficulty. In dynamic trials, these elements were set to increase from their minimum to their maximum values. Vigilance performance in static trials was shown to improve over time. In contrast, dynamic WACDT trials were characterized by vigilance performance declines. The WACDT provides the civilian human factors research community with an up-to-date and validated vigilance task for network defense accessible to civilian researchers.

We develop a nonparametric approach that allows one to discriminate among alternative models of entry in …rst-price auctions. Three models of entry are considered: Levin and Smith (1994), Samuelson (1985), and a new model in which the information received at the entry stage is imperfectly correlated with valuations. We derive testable restrictions that these three models impose on the quantiles of active bidders' valuations, and develop nonparametric tests of these restrictions. We implement the tests on a dataset of highway procurement auctions in Oklahoma. Depending on the project size, we …nd no support for the Samuelson model, some support for the Levin and Smith model, and somewhat more support for the new model.
