Japanese Auction


Japanese Auction

A way to run an auction in which all participants must bid each new price in order to remain in competition for the item. For example, if the opening bid for a good is $500, all participants must bid $500. If the next bid is $600, anyone who does not bid $600 is eliminated. This continues until only one bidder remains. Each bidder is able to observe how many other bidders remain after each round.
