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