摘要
In many sequential auctions supply is unknown ex ante. Consequently, price formation depends on information regarding supply: uncertain supply reduces the 'option value' and yields declining prices. However, prices increase if it becomes known that supply falls short of expectations. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved. JEL classification: D44.
