And this year, I’m sure we all share the desire to emerge from our COVID caves to (safely, of course) enjoy the season’s renewal and reconnecting with life. Beginning with this May issue of On The Block, you’ll notice several new features that will introduce you to some of the National Auto Auction Association’s members. Through these regular columns, you’ll meet those who work in various jobs behind the block in an auc- tion employee profile, learn about the volunteers who serve on NAAA’s various committees and discover some of the businesses that comprise our many associate members. I believe making these connections is important, especially during the pandemic era’s social distancing. Because more than anything else, our industry is built on — and still depends on — relationships. Whether yesterday, today, or tomorrow, building strong bonds with our colleagues, clients, employees, and vendors is the constant in changing times that allows us to continue to progress and succeed. After nearly 30 years in this business, I still love it because of the people who are part of it. It’s why I enthusiastically took on my new role with Cox Automotive to strengthen our Julie Picard industry partnerships. It’s why I feel strongly about finding ways to retain and cultivate NAAA President the personal connections among NAAA members, even if it means as president conducting virtual auction visits. And that’s why I’m excited to announce that NAAA will return to host an annual gathering this fall in the Windy City! The NAAA Reconnection Event will be held September 28-30 at the Chicago Hilton. Pro Football Hall of Famer, ABC Dancing with the Stars winner, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Emmitt Smith will give the keynote speech. In addition to conducting the business of the association, this occasion will have plenty of time for socializing and networking to renew and re-engage with industry leaders, experts, peers, and friends. We feel returning to an annual gathering is essential to maintaining the continuity of our ritual of coming together for 73 years and restoring some normality in this time of disruption and disorder in daily life. So mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details. I look forward to this time when we can get out from behind our screens and get back to getting together in person! 4 | NAAA ON THE BLOCK | MAY 2021 www.naaa.com COVER STORY When the pandemic slowed the pace of work in his dealerships, John Hiester filled his Time to Remodel mechanics’ hours with a competition to fix up 14 classic cars for a charity auction.

  • Optimal Design of Dutch Auctions with Discrete Bid Levels. Doctor Of
    OPTIMAL DESIGN OF DUTCH AUCTIONS WITH DISCRETE BID LEVELS Zhen Li, B.A., M.S. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2010 APPROVED: Ching-Chung Kuo, Major Professor and Program Coordinator for Operations Management Robert J. Pavur, Minor Professor Grant Miles, Committee Member Vicki L. Goodwin, Chair of the Department of Management O. Finley Graves, Dean of the College of Business Michael Monticino, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Li, Zhen. Optimal design of Dutch auctions with discrete bid levels. Doctor of Philosophy (Management), May 2010, 224 pp., 34 tables, 30 illustrations, references, 142 titles. The theory of auction has become an active research area spanning multiple disciplines such as economics, finance, marketing and management science. But a close examination of it reveals that most of the existing studies deal with ascending (i.e., English) auctions in which it is assumed that the bid increments are continuous. There is a clear lack of research on optimal descending (i.e., Dutch) auction design with discrete bid levels. This dissertation aims to fill this void by considering single-unit, open-bid, first price Dutch auctions in which the bid levels are restricted to a finite set of values, the number of bidders may be certain or uncertain, and a secret reserve price may be present or absent. These types of auctions are most attractive for selling products that are perishable (e.g., flowers) or whose value decreases with time (e.g., air flight seats and concert tickets) (Carare and Rothkopf, 2005).

  • Bid Takers Or Market Makers? the Effect of Auctioneers on Auction Outcomes*
    Bid Takers or Market Makers? The Effect of Auctioneers on Auction Outcomes* Nicola Lacetera Bradley J. Larsen University of Toronto and NBER Stanford University and eBay Research Labs [email protected] [email protected] Devin G. Pope Justin R. Sydnor University of Chicago and NBER University of Wisconsin [email protected] [email protected] This draft: October 28, 2013 Abstract A large body of research has explored the importance of auction design and information structure on auction outcomes. Much less work has looked at the importance of auction process. We analyze more than 800,000 wholesale used car auctions, and explore the importance of auction process by testing for systematic differences in outcomes by auctioneer. Auctioneers may differ in how they conduct their auctions, varying for example in patterns of starting prices, price adjustments, or other techniques. Exploiting arguably random variation in the assignment of cars to auctioneers, we find large and significant differences in outcomes (probability of sale, price, and speed) across auctioneers. The performance heterogeneities that we find are stable across time and correlate with subjective evaluations of auctioneers provided by the auction house. Additional analyses and also survey evidence help to shed light on possible mechanisms that allow an auctioneer to stand out among his/her peers. * We are grateful to seminar participants at Boston University, MIT, Queen’s University, the University of Chicago, University of Toronto, University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Bank of Italy, and conference participants at the 2013 IZA Workshop on Behavioral Economics, the 2013 European Behavioral Economics Meeting, the 2013 NBER Summer Institute, and the 2013 Stanford Institute for Theoretical Economics.

  • The Effect of Auctioneers on Auction Outcome†
    American Economic Journal: Microeconomics 2016, 8(4): 195–229 http://dx.doi.org/10.1257/mic.20150020 Bid Takers or Market Makers? The Effect of Auctioneers on Auction Outcome† By Nicola Lacetera, Bradley J. Larsen, Devin G. Pope, and Justin R. Sydnor* Auction design has been studied extensively; however, within a given design, does the process of how an auction is conducted matter as well? We address this question by looking for heterogeneity in the performance of auctioneers in English auctions. We analyze over 850,000 wholesale used car auctions and find significant differences across auctioneers in outcomes for otherwise similar cars. The performance heterogeneities are stable across time and correlate with subjective evaluations by the auction house. We discuss the mechanisms driving differential performance and find evidence suggesting a role for tactics that generate bidder excitement or urgency. JEL D44, D82, L62 ( ) uctions are central features of many important markets and have attracted a Alarge body of academic research. This literature has mostly focused on the effects of different auction structures, comparing common designs such as English, Dutch, first-price sealed-bid and second-price auctions, to assess their effects on revenue and efficiency. It is well established that the performance of different auc- tion designs may depend on the underlying distributions of product valuations and the level of information available to market participants.1 In contrast to this body of work on auction structure, much less is known about how the process of running an auction within a given auction may affect outcomes. * Lacetera: University of Toronto Mississauga—Institute of Management and Innovation, 3359 Mississauga Road, Room KN 235, Mississauga, ON, L5L 1C6, Canada and NBER e-mail: [email protected].

Maloney, Committee Chair Dr. William R. Dougan Dr. John T. Warner Dr. Cotton M. Lindsay te te1 ABSTRACT Wholesale auto auctions are convenient structures for economists as they attempt to observe the marginal effects of quality changes on the market-clearing price. However, what may be categorized as a quality change might rather be a market signal of an environment with adverse selection. This dissertation analyzes the effects of seller type and tests their sensitivity to econometric model specification. General hedonic attributes and their various applications are reviewed. This dissertation explores the basic auto auction environment and dispels inaccurate notions about the auction structure.
