An introduction to the structural econometrics of auction data

the long version

"This text, intended for both graduate students and professional researchers, is an effective, concise introduction to the structural econometrics of auctions. Tools from recent developments in theoretical econometrics are combined with established numerical methods to provide a practical guide to most of the main concepts in the empirical analysis of field data from auctions. Among other things, the text is remarkable for a large number of mathematical problems and empirical exercises for which sample solutions are provided at the end of the book. In the case of the empirical exercises, sample code written in Matlab 7 provides a ready-made toolbox that allows readers to implement many empirical specifications quickly"--BOOK JACKET.
