“…Issues: Landowners' ability to design efficient baskets may vary, and WDPs could be challenging to solve. (Combinatorial WDPs are often NP-hard, see, e.g., [68][69][70]). While the literature review by Iftekhar et al offers a useful starting point for exploring applying combinatorial auctions to ES, original research involving the collection of primary data is lacking.…”

Auctions offer potential cost-effectiveness improvements over other mechanisms for payments for ecosystem services (PES) contract allocation. However, evidence-based guidance for matching design to application is scarce and research priorities are unclear. To take stock of the current state of the art, we conducted a systematic review and thematic content analysis of 56 peer-reviewed journal articles discussing ES auctions published in the last decade. Auctions were approached from three overlapping perspectives: mechanism design, PES, and policy analysis. Five major themes emerged: (1) performance, including measures like cost-effectiveness and PES criteria like additionality; (2) information dynamics like price discovery and communication effects; (3) design innovations like risk-integrating and spatially coordinated mechanisms; (4) contextual variables like policy context and cultural values; and (5) participation factors. Additional attention from policymakers and continued efforts to coordinate research in this diverse and interdisciplinary subfield may be beneficial.

“…Song et al [17] also used the multiunit combinatorial auction framework to handle DRCMPSP. In their method, for each auction round, the project agents participated in the auction procedure with the required resources and the value of the bids.…”

“…To address these limitations, they propose an auction-based negotiation approach for large-scale complex multi-project scheduling. More recently, Song et al [18] propose a multi-unit combinatorial auction based approach for RCMPSP, which shows significant improvement in minimizing average project delay. Except the above mentioned auction based protocols, a few approaches solve RCMPSP using other types of mechanisms, such as the market based negotiation mechanism [19], the evolutionary computation based coordination scheme [20], and the critical chains based conflict elimination mechanism [21].…”
