Answer to Question 1

Double oral auctions are similar to how trading actually works on stock exchangestraders announce bids and asks and if they match, a trade is executed.
Double oral auction experiments with many different market variants - including varying the elasticity of supply and demand and the numbers of buyers and sellers - have shown that the equilibrium price in the market will be very close to where the supply and demand curves intersect. So, the price in a double oral auction for a good with perfectly elastic demand is also expected to approach the equilibrium price.
