The construction contract bidder homogeneity assumption: An empirical test
This paper describes an empirical study to test the proposition that all construction contract bidders are homogeneous, i.e. they can be treated as behaving collectively in an identical (statistical) manner. An examination ofprevious analyses of bidding data reveals a flaw in the method of standardizing bids across different size contracts and a new procedure is proposed which involves the estimation of a contract datum. Three independent sets of bidding data were then subjected to this procedure and estimates of the necessary distributional parrimeters obtained. These were then tested against the bidder homogeneity assumption, resulting in the conclusion that the assumption may be appropriate,for a three-parameter log-normal shape, but not for scale and location.
