Computing Equilibria in Markets with Budget-Additive Utilities
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
We present the first analysis of Fisher markets with buyers that have budget-additive utility functions. ...
buyer and each good. ...
The buyers' utilities amount to 5 and 1, resp., and the prices are p 1 = 3 and p 2 = 1. Now suppose buyer 1 has a budget-additive utility function with cap c 1 = 1. ...

Spending Constraint Utilities with Applications to the Adwords Market
2010
Mathematics of Operations Research
We present a new, natural class of utility functions which allow buyers to explicitly provide information on their relative preferences as a function of the amount of money spent on each good. ...
These utility functions offer considerable expressivity, especially in Google's Adwords market. ...
Let f ij be the piecewise-linear, concave utility function of buyer i for good j; f ij is a function of x ij , the allocation of good j to buyer i. ...

We study the allocation of divisible goods to competing agents via a market mechanism, focusing on agents with Leontief utilities. ...
Second, we use duality to show that in the bandwidth allocation setting, any allocation maximizing a CES welfare function can be supported by price curves. ...

Dividing Goods or Bads Under Additive Utilities
2016

Beyond the fair division of private goods, RM has been applied to a broad range of resource allocation problems with production and/or indivisibilities. 5 Fair Share Guarantee (FSG) says that nobody ...
Each agent is endowed with linear preferences over [0, 1] A , represented for convenience by a vector u i ∈ R A + : a utility function in the case of goods, a disutility function in that of bads. ...
Recall that F c (Q) is the set of critical points of the Nash product in Ψ ef f (Q).The k/k + 1-cut allocations are the extreme points of the set of feasible allocations Φ (N, A) , and their utility profiles ...

The final expressions of the relative inadequacy, or excessiveness, of present rate schedules and the reasonableness of the proposed new tariffs are deceptive in their simplicity. ...

A Transaction Utility Approach for Bidding in Second-Price Auctions
2020
Journal of Interactive Marketing
However, in practice, buyers tend to bid less than their reservation prices, and bid multiple times, thus increase their bids, in the course of an auction. ...
In this paper, we show that both underbidding and multiple bidding behaviors can be consistent with utility maximization, if buyer's utility incorporates a transaction utility (reference price dependent ...
Reference price is a subjective benchmark used by the buyer; e.g., "fair" price, last price paid etc. ...
