	EconPort - Handbook - Auctions - Dutch Auction
		The Dutch auction is also known as an open-outcry descending price auction, and is sometimes referred to as a "clock auction." The seller or auctioneer starts at a high price and subsequently lowers the price repeatedly as time passes.
		In the Dutch auction, each bidder must choose a price at which she will stop the price decrements, conditional on no other bidder having already stopped them, and the bidder who chooses the highest price wins the object at her chosen price.
		The Dutch auction is sometimes referred to as the "open first-price auction," and it is strategically equivalent to the first-price sealed-bid auction.

	BidWerX.com Auction Types : Dutch Auctions
		The process for multiple item auctions is much the same for single item auctions, except that bidders specify the number of items to bid on, rather than a single item or group of items sold as one lot.
		Once the auction closes, the seller can decide if they wish to sell all items to the winning bidder at the lowest successful bid, or sell to the highest bidders the number of items they bid for.
		Commissions due to BidWerX.com for a Dutch Auction are based on a percentage of the lowest winning bid placed on that item X number of items.

		Hendricks and Porter examines federal auctions for drainage leases and find that their data suggest that neighbor firms are better informed about the value of a lease than non-neighbor firms, that neighbor firms coordinate their bidding decisions, and that both types of firms bid strategically in accordance with the Bayesian-Nash equilibrium [HePo88].

		The cooperative structure of the Dutch auctions (every single grower has one vote), the complexity of the after-sale logistics (due to the coupling of the logistics with the price discovery process), their inability to implement IT innovations quickly further decreased the market share of TFA's competitors.

	FIPA DutchAuction Interaction Protocol Specification
		In the FIPA Dutch Auction Interaction Protocol (IP), the auctioneer attempts to find the market price for a good by starting bidding at a price much higher than the expected market value, then progressively reducing the price until one of the buyers accepts the price.
		The term "Dutch Auction" derives from the flower markets in Holland, where this is the dominant means of determining the market value of quantities of (typically) cut flowers.
		First, the good may be split: for example the auctioneer may be selling five boxes of tulips at price X, and a buyer may purchase only three of the boxes.

	Burnham's Beat: Dutch Auctions and Democracy: Two Things That Don’t Make Sense For IPOs
		Indeed many proponents of Dutch Auctions are now holding out Google’s IPO as supposedly some kind of validating watershed that will lead to increasing use of Dutch Auctions for IPOs (just take a look at the article on WR Hambrecht today in the San Francisco Chronicle).
		This is a clear violation of the principles of a Dutch Auction.
		The ultimate solution to the problem of under-priced IPOs and underwriter pay-offs is not to blindly adopt Dutch Auctions as some kind of saving grace, but to better educate Issuers about their rights and responsibilities when it comes to determining the issue price and allocating shares.

	Are Dutch Auctions Right for Your IPO? - HBS Working Knowledge
		One of the supposed benefits of the Dutch auction process, which Google used in its recent IPO, is its alleged minimization of the increase between the offer price and the opening price of the offering.
		Unlike the traditional method, in which only the institutional and sophisticated investors are involved, the Dutch auction method enables small investors to participate in the pricing by posting the price that they are willing to pay and the number of shares that they wish to purchase.
		Furthermore, investors could discount an IPO issued through the auction process by perceiving it to be a company that may not have a clear sense of the uses for the funds that it is raising, or that may have done poorly using the traditional IPO issuance processes.

	Dutch Sequential Auctions
		In February 1999 the Dutch State Treasury Agency (which is responsible for the management of the national debt of the Netherlands) sent an email to the Primary Dealers, suggesting a new auction mechanism.
		The Dutch Sequential Auction is a process where the total volume is split up in parts and issued in a sequence of quick and small auctions (auctionettes, if you like) within a period of 1 to 1.5 hours.
		Because the Dutch do not dominate trading, an individual DSL auction needs to be finished quickly; but because the euro market is much larger than the sterling market, each euro auctionette can be larger.

		It'll be a Dutch auction, which means that each bidding investor will get a chance to name his own price for Google shares.
		One of the aspects that people are asking questions about is the nature of the IPO allocation, the "Dutch auction." It's a pretty neat approach that completely takes the judgment of investment bankers out of the pricing decision and places it in the hands of the market.
		A Dutch auction curtails or removes the ability of the investment bank to influence the opening price of the shares and its ability to allocate IPO shares at all.

	LA Weekly - Dutch Auction
		Three years on, Von Dutch parked his bus on the property to begin an extended term as artist in residence, which, in addition to expanding the Bruckersâ art and gun collections, resulted in the above-quoted Hitler biography and a plethora of equally oddball institutional signage.
		Working with RM Auctions, the Bruckers are selling off their collection in two large events, the first of which takes place this Saturday at the Petersen Automotive Museum.
		On the other hand, many of the items created by Dutch and Roth for the MovieWorld displays seem underpriced, as if their utilitarian function undermined their skewed Pop sensibility or historical significance, when, in fact, it is their inextricable relationship to an authentic and original underground aesthetic that gives them the quality of relics.

		After receiving the prospectus and sometime before the auction, bidders must obtain a "unique bidder ID." Bidder IDs will not be available after the bidding begins.
