Abstract
This paper analyzes the effects of industrial concentration on bidding behavior and expected revenues. These effects are studied under the CIAPI model, an affiliated value set-up that nests a variety of valuation and information environments. We formally decompose the revenue effects coming from less competition into five types. The properties of these effects are discussed and conditions for (non)monotonicity of both the equilibrium bid and revenue are stated. Our results suggest that it is more likely that the seller benefits from less competition in markets with more complete valuation and information structures.
