A Greater Price for a Greater Good? Evidence that Consumers Pay More for Charity-Linked Products (2010, unknown): “When we repeat the analysis on a subsample of 27 Ariely, Ockenfels, and Roth (2005) and Ockenfels and Roth (2006) find that sniping is more common by more experienced bidders.”
Race Effects on Ebay (2015, background): “…and, as an empirical matter, many eBay bidders make incremental bids, increasing their offers in a flurry of late bidding (“sniping”) on items that one would expect to be independently valued (Roth and Ockenfels 2002; Ariely, Ockenfels, and Roth 2005; Ockenfels and Roth 2006; Hossain 2008).”
Auctions with a buy price (2004, unknown): “) By (9) we have U∗(v0) = v̄ + v0 − 2v 2(v̄ − v) (1− e −α(v0−B)).”
How Effective Are Electronic Reputation Mechanisms? An Experimental Investigation (2004, unknown): “This allows us to observe endgame behavior as a measure of strategic reputation building because the strategic value of a good reputation 8 See Roth (2002) and Ariely et al. (2002) on the relationship between experimental and field studies.”
Last-Minute Bidding and the Rules for Ending Second-Price Auctions: Evidence from eBay and Amazon Auctions on the Internet (2002, methodology): “See Ariely et al. (2002) for an experiment that replicates the late-bidding comparisons found in our eld data, under controlled conditions in a pure private-value environment.”
Organizational Beliefs and Managerial Vision (2005, unknown): “To endow the subjects with a prior, they may get told the likelihood of success of the different projects and also be informed about the beliefs of the CEOs, very much in the way that subjects get endowed with utility in auction experiments, such as Ariely, Ockenfels, and Roth (2002).”
Economic Insights from Internet Auctions (2004, background): “Accordingly, Ariely et al. (2003) find a significant amount of late-bidding activity in this experimental treatment.”
Late and multiple bidding in second price Internet auctions: Theory and evidence concerning different rules for ending an auction (2006, background): “10 See Section V for field evidence, Ariely et al. (2002) for experimental evidence, and Ockenfels and Roth (2002) for anecdotal evidence.”
Market prices of remanufactured, used and new items: Evidence from eBay (2012, background): “Koppius et al. (2004) examined the Dutch flower market and found that visual representation (positively) affects WTP. Lewis (2007) found evidence of a similar effect on second-hand cars sold on eBay.”
Accurately measuring willingness to pay for consumer goods: a meta-analysis of the hypothetical bias (2019, background): “For example, a possible explanation for the limited accuracy of indirect measures could reflect coherent arbitrariness (Ariely et al. 2003).”
