Because the procurement mechanism of Electronic reverse auction leads a high competition with extreme high efficiency and transparency, the application of ERA in government procurement is of world-wide concern. Comparing the practices exploration of the ERA in government procurement, the fundamental research appears weak. It is still a new mondial topic that how to apply ERA in government procurement.In the thesis, the author not only applies the research techniques such as canonical parse, empirical analysis, literature analysis, theory induction and comparative analysis, but also uses some analysis tool such as the game theory and the flow chart. This thesis analyzes the ERA connotation and principle, and discusses the problems and countermeasures of the ERA in China's government procurement, basing on the summaries and analysis of the ERA application practices. The findings have certain positive guiding sense to the further application and development of ERA in China's government procurement.Firstly, this thesis discusses the definitions of ERA in order to make the object of study more clear. The author classifies the ERA from various research views and summarizes the developing situations of the ERA on the base of analysis of ERA's history.Secondly, this thesis analyzes the mechanism of public ERA to prove the high level competition and efficiency of ERA. The author then analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of ERA, the influence factor of procurement results and benefits of ERA in government procurement in theory. Thirdly, this thesis lists three examples of ERA in government procurement to prove the theory in the above paragraphs. This empirical analysis is also providing supports to the study of China's ERA in government procurement in the following paragraphs. Then, this thesis summarizes the problems and developing environment in China's ERA in government procurement. The author provides countermeasures and suggestions to the further development of ERA in China's government procurement.The innovations of this thesis includes the definition of ERA, the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of ERA in government procurement, the analysis of the influence factors of procurement results and benefits of ERA in government procurement, the countermeasures and suggestions to the further development of ERA in China's government procurement.
