Abstract

It has analyzed the transition processes for the content of the revenue equivalence principle. It used the revenue equivalence principle to derive the equilibrium bidding strategies in the first, second and third price auction and the all-pay auction from the expected payment of the bidders. Based on this, it compared the equilibrium bidding strategies in the four auction forms and got some useful conclusions.
