On Revenue Equivalence in Truthful Mechanisms
2007
In this paper we give a characterization of revenue equivalence based on a graph theoretic interpretation of the incentive compatibility constraints. ...
The property of an allocation rule to be implementable in dominant strategies by a unique payment scheme is called revenue equivalence. ...
The property of an allocation rule to have a unique payment scheme completing the allocation rule to a truthful mechanism is called revenue equivalence. ...

Truthful auctions for pricing search keywords
2006
Proceedings of the 7th ACM conference on Electronic commerce - EC '06
Assuming separable click-through rates, we prove revenue-equivalence between our auction and the non-truthful next-price auctions currently in use. ...
We present a truthful auction for pricing advertising slots on a web-page assuming that advertisements for different merchants must be ranked in decreasing order of their (weighted) bids. ...
Thus, we impose rank-equivalence as a constraint on any auction mechanism that we design, i.e., the truthful mechanism must result in the same ranking as the original mechanism in place. ...

Auction design with a risk averse seller
1999
Economics Letters
We show that for every incentive compatible selling mechanism there exists a mechanism which provides deterministically the same expected revenue. ...
We consider auctions with a risk averse seller in independent private values environments with risk neutral buyers. ...
For any incentive compatible mechanism fp i :; t i :g n i=1 , there is a mechanism in the same equivalence class with deterministic revenue. ...

Alternatively, auction mechanisms have been used with a different set of principles for the determination of prices, based on individuals' incentives to report their preferences. ...
It can be easily proven that, the minimum revenue equilibrium as a selling mechanism will rendre bidders truthful: everyone gets its maximum utility by bidding the truth. ...

Approximately Revenue-Maximizing Auctions for Deliberative Agents
2021
PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTIETH AAAI CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE TWENTY-EIGHTH INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE
In particular, we use Myerson (1981) to construct the first non-trivial (i.e., dependent on deliberation costs) upper bound on revenue in deliberative auctions. ...
In addition, we show that in many deliberative environments the only optimal dominant-strategy mechanisms take the form of sequential posted-price auctions. ...
The following theorem relates the expected revenue of truthful mechanisms in the two environments. Theorem 11. For any truthful DDM M in E, there is mechanism N where: 1. ...

The main contribution of this paper is a truthful competitive mechanism for subadditive valuations. ...
In digital goods auctions, there is an auctioneer who sells an item with unlimited supply to a set of potential buyers, and the objective is to design truthful auction to maximize the total profit of the ...

Approximately optimal auctions for correlated bidders
2015
Games and Economic Behavior
(Robert Kleinberg) 1 Please refer to our Related Work section for a survey on a rich literature discussing optimal auctions in other models, e.g., Crémer and McLean [7] and Rahman [19] . ...
We consider the design of dominant strategy incentive compatible, revenue-maximizing auctions for an indivisible good, when bidders' values are drawn from a correlated distribution. ...
Thus, the revenue of the optimal truthful-in-expectation mechanism improves on the revenue of any deterministic truthful mechanism by at least a factor of 1896 1894 > 1.001. ...

Optimal auctions with correlated bidders are easy

Proceedings of the 43rd annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing - STOC '11
to the revenue achievable by an optimal truthful-inexpectation mechanism, and a polynomial time deterministic truthful mechanism that guarantees 5 3 approximation to the revenue achievable by an optimal ...
We show that the 5 3 -approximation mechanism provides the same approximation ratio also with respect to the optimal truthful-in-expectation mechanism. ...
Maximizing revenue in a truthful-in-expectation mechanism is equivalent to solving a linear program specified below, where subscript i ranges over bidders (i.e. i = 1, 2, 3) and subscript s ranges over ...

Single-Call Mechanisms
2015
ACM Transactions on Economics and Computation
One obstacle is that truthful payments depend on outcomes other than the one realized, such as the lengths of non-shortest-paths in a shortest-path auction. ...
Single-call mechanisms are a powerful tool that circumvents this obstacle -they implicitly charge truthful payments, guaranteeing truthfulness in expectation using only the outcome realized by the mechanism ...
Revenue. The following lemma implies that a lower bound on the factor of approximation to revenue is equivalent to a lower bound on precision. LEMMA 4.6. ...

In the meanwhile, as pointed out by the Wilson's Principle, a mechanism should reply as little as possible on the accuracy of prior type distribution. ...
These results echo the recent literature on prior-independent mechanism design. ...
With this lemma, we only consider truthful mechanism family {M f (·) |f (·) ∈ F n } and the truthful BNE of every mechanism in it. ...

Hence, it suffices to focus only on truthful mechanisms when revenue is of interest. Subsequently, our discussion on capacity allocation focuses on truthful mechanisms. ...
