Simultaneous Single-Item Auctions
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In a combinatorial auction (CA) with item bidding, several goods are sold simultaneously via single-item auctions. ...
We study how the equilibrium performance of such an auction depends on the choice of the underlying single-item auction. ...
An alternative simple auction format is sequential (rather than simultaneous) single-item auctions; the price of anarchy in such auctions was studied recently in [16, 20] . ...

Evaluating bidding strategies for simultaneous auctions
2006
Proceedings of the fifth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems - AAMAS '06
We study the problem of bidding for multiple items in a set of simultaneous auctions, each of which sell only a single unit of a particular item. ...
In the real world all or most of the items of interest to an agent is not present in a single combinatorial auction. ...

A comparison of bidding strategies for simultaneous auctions
2006
ACM SIGecom Exchanges
We focus on bidding for multiple items in a set of auctions, each of which sell only a single unit of a particular item. Hence an agent has to bid in multiple auctions to obtain item bundles. ...
In the real world all or most of the items of interest to an agent is not present in a single combinatorial auction. ...
Bidding strategies for single-item auctions are well-known. For strategy-proof auctions, a rational bidder will bid its true valuation for the item. ...

Efficiency and Synergy in a Multi-Unit Auction with and Without Package Bidding: An Experimental Study
2012
Social Science Research Network
In the model, a global bidder bids for multiple items and can benefit from synergies, while local bidders bid for a single item. ...
The effect of package bidding on revenues is negative when global bidders are not allowed to bid on single items (a feature of the equilibrium) and positive when the restriction is relaxed and synergies ...
Many large-stake auctions, recently conducted, involved a seller simultaneously auctioning off multiple items or a buyer simultaneously procuring several objects. ...

This survey outlines a general and modular theory for proving approximation guarantees for equilibria of auctions in complex settings. ...
Combining these tools yields tight worst-case approximation guarantees for the equilibria of many widely-used auction formats. ...

Efficiency and price discovery in multi-item auctions
2000
ACM SIGecom Exchanges
Distributed multi-item auctions offer great opportunities for integrating fragmented online auction markets into larger markets with more efficient outcomes. ...
We also show that the strategy constitutes a Nash Equilibrium of the system with single unit demand. We discuss the implications of our results for the design of auctions on the Internet. ...
We also thank Arun Kumar for his interest in mediated auctions which provided motivation for this study. ...

Simultaneous Ascending Auctions
[chapter]
2005
Combinatorial Auctions
The simultaneous ascending auction has proved to be a successful method of auctioning many related items. ...
Simultaneous sale and ascending bids promote price discovery, which helps bidders build desirable packages of items. ...
In a simultaneous ascending auction with a reserve price less than $80, the unique equilibrium outcome is for each to bid for a single item, so that the auction ends at the reserve price. ...

However, in environments created to stress test the procedures, a combinatorial auction outperforms the simultaneous discrete auction. ...
The simultaneous discrete auction process used by the Federal Communications Commission to allocate Personal Communications licenses was contrasted with a sequential auction and a combinatorial auction ...

Approximately optimal mechanism design

First, when is complexity -in the sense of detailed distributional knowledge -an essential feature of revenue-maximizing single-item auctions? ...
Second, do combinatorial auctions require high-dimensional bid spaces to achieve good social welfare? ...
Let's briefly recall the Vickrey or second-price single-item auction [Vickrey 1961 ]. Consider a single seller with a single item; assume for simplicity that the seller has no value for the item. ...

Multi-Dimensional Bid Improvement Algorithm for Simultaneous Auctions
2007
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
While an optimal bidding strategy is known when bidding in sequential auctions, only suboptimal strategies are available when bidding for items being sold in simultaneous auctions. ...
Bidding for multi-items in simultaneous auctions raises challenging problems. In multi-auction settings, the determination of optimal bids by potential buyers requires combinatorial calculations. ...
We plan to study situations where a bidder can bid in both single-item and combinatorial auctions to acquire bundles. We also intend to adapt MDBI for generating bids for multiunit auctions. ...
