Four Essays on Auction Theory
… outcome of an ascending-price multiple-object auction. Two bidders with continuous, convex demand functions participate in the auction of a certain number of divisible objects. The auctioneer starts the process by announcing an initial price and by asking both bidders to submit sealed-bids …

Essays in bargaining and auction theory
… Chapter 3 studies efficient and optimal auction design where bidders do not know their values and solicit advice from informed but biased advisors via a cheap-talk game. When advisors are biased toward overbidding, we characterize efficient equilibria of static auctions and equilibria of …

Decentralized Auction Solutions for Dynamic, Networked Markets
… work is a focused contribution to decentralized auction mechanisms inmarkets driven by autonomous, dynamically interacting nodes. These markets are characterized by strategic interactions, limited information, and fluctuating competition. Traditional auction models, such as the Second Price …

Enhancing electricity auction mechanism with FACTS devices
… In the deregulated electric power market, auction is demonstrated to be an effective way to achieve the Pareto optimality. The auction scheme in this work is double-sided SPCA (single period commodity auction). The auction problem is formulated in a linear form and can be solved by LP …

Essays on Market Design and Auction Theory
… consists of three essays on market design and auction theory. In the first chapter, we develop a model of decentralized college admissions in which students' preferences for colleges are uncertain, and colleges must incur costs when their enrollments exceed their capacities. Colleges' admission …

Estimating Auction Equilibria using Individual Evolutionary Learning
… to estimate equilibria bidding functions in auctions. I show it produces highly accurate estimates across a large class of auction environments with known solutions. I then apply GENEE to estimate the equilibria of two additional auctions with no known solutions: first-price sealed-bid common …

Multi-unit auction revenue with possibilistic beliefs
The revenue of traditional auction mechanisms is benchmarked solely against the players' own valuations, despite the fact that they may also have valuable beliefs about each other's valuations. Not much is known about generating revenue in auctions of multiple identical copies of a same good. (In …

Analysis and design of competing double auction marketplaces
The double auction, a highly efficient market mechanism, has been widely used by both traditional and online exchanges. However, with the globalisation of the economy, these marketplaces increasingly need to compete with each other to attract traders and charge suitable fees to make profits. In …

Robustness of the k-double auction under Knightian uncertainty
… of private value and common value k-double auctions when those markets are populated by regret minimizers. Regret minimizing agents, unlike typical expected utility maximizers, need not commit to a single prior in their decision rule. In fact, it is a feature of the minimax regret decision …

Applications of auction algorithms to complex problems with constraints
… assignment problems are addressed by the use of auction algorithms. The application of auction to the standard linear assignment problem is reviewed. The extension to nonlinear problems is introduced and illustrated with two examples. Techniques that are employed for model reduction include …

Combinatorial Auction-Based Virtual Machine Provisioning And Allocation In Clouds
… to be allocated to large number of users, auctions are the most efficient allocation mechanisms. Auctions achieve efficiency of allocation and also maximize the providers' revenue, which a fixed-price based mechanism is unable to do. We argue that combinatorial auctions are best suited for …

A Computational and Experimental Examination of the FCC Incentive Auction
… Federal Communications Commission debuted a new auction mechanism, the Incentive Auction, with the intention of obtaining high frequency television broadcasting spectrum, repurposing it for cellular use, and reselling these licenses at profitable prices. In designing this process, the traditional …
