Abstract

We use data from Danish and Swedish treasury auctions to analyze differences in bidding strategies and auction performance. Our analysis suggests that underreporting true valuations is more pronounced under discriminatory auction format than under uniform auction format. Analogously, underreporting of true demand quantity is more pronounced under discriminatory auction format than under uniform auction format. We find no significant difference in the expected government profit (relative to the market prices).
