Abstract

This paper concerns the cartel with payment of monetary compensation, studies the cartel members’ bidding strategies in the pre-auction under the first-price and second-price collusion mechanism. It is found that the cartel members report price below its valuation in the first-price collusion mechanism, the cartel members’ offer price is higher than its valuation in the second price collusion mechanism. Furthermore, study the first-price and second-price collusion mechanism’s efficiency when the numbers of cartel members is less than and equal to the total numbers of bidders.
