The winner's curse is a phenomenon that occurs in auctions or competitive bidding processes where the winner tends to overpay or experience a suboptimal outcome compared to the intrinsic value of the item being auctioned. It arises when bidders in the auction have incomplete or imperfect information about the true value or worth of the item, leading the winning bidder to potentially pay more than the item is worth.
