Innovations in the design of bundled-item auctions

Abstract: A uctions have captured the attention of economists for several reasons. One is the relevance for specific applications of research on auctions in light of their widespread and growing use in the field, particularly in online transactions. Auctions are also highly amenable to economic analysis, because the rules are generally precisely defined; modern game-theoretic techniques of economic analysis can be brought to bear with fewer simplifying assumptions than for many other areas of economics. Furthermore, the… Show more

“…As such, an attractive feature of the CC is that it might eliminate potential strategic complications associated with placing a specific bid on a package such as jump bidding (see Section ) since bidders are simply deciding what packages are profitable given current prices. Noussair () provides a description of how the CC may have more desirable strategic properties over other auctions such as AUSM. Porter et al .…”

“…Then a fundamental and intriguing question arises: how to restore such bidders' incentives to bid sincerely as price takers. Third, a threshold problem also poses a hazard to efficient outcomes in a package auction ðsee, e.g., Noussair 2003;Porter et al 2003Þ. For illustration, assume that John and Peter want items A and B, respectively, but David wants A and B together.…”
