Abstract
► In online advertising, some buyers pay only when their ad elicits a response. ► Since payoffs are random, offer values must be estimated. ► Even if the estimates are unbiased, selecting a winning offer creates a bias. ► High-variance offers have more selection bias as a class. ► Correcting for selection bias can increase revenue.
