Scoring rules and abnormally low bids criteria in construction tenders: a taxonomic review by Pablo Ballesteros-Perez, Martin Skitmore, Eugenio Pellicer, M. Carmen Gonzalez-Cruz

“…However, economic scoring formula selection by auctioneers is invariably and paradoxically a highly intuitive process in practice, involving few theoretical or empirical considerations, despite having been considered traditionally and mistakenly as objective, due to its mathematical nature. This paper provides a taxonomic classification of a wide variety of ESFs and abnormally low bids criteria (ALBC) gathered in several countries with different tendering approaches. …”
