Types of auction

Generalized second-price auction

The generalized second-price auction (GSP) is a non-truthful auction mechanism for multiple items. Each bidder places a bid. The highest bidder gets the first slot, the second-highest, the second slot and so on, but the highest bidder pays the price bid by the second-highest bidder, the second-highest pays the price bid by the third-highest, and so on. First conceived as a natural extension of the Vickrey auction, it conserves some of the desirable properties of the Vickrey auction. It is used mainly in the context of keyword auctions, where sponsored search slots are sold on an auction basis. The first analyses of GSP are in the economics literature by Edelman, Ostrovsky, and Schwarz and by Varian. It is used by Google's AdWords technology, and it was employed by Facebook, which has now switched to Vickrey–Clarke–Groves auction. (Wikipedia).

The true second derivative test

In this video I present the second derivative test in multivariable calculus, which is used to find local maxima/minima/saddle points of a function. However, unlike the nonsense they usually teach in the books, here I'm presenting a more elegant way with some linear algebra blended in. I'm

24. Asymmetric information: auctions and the winner's curse

Game Theory (ECON 159) We discuss auctions. We first distinguish two extremes: common values and private values. We hold a common value auction in class and discover the winner's curse, the winner tends to overpay. We discuss why this occurs and how to avoid it: you should bid as if you k

Michael Joswig: Generalized permutahedra and optimal auctions

We study a family of convex polytopes, called SIM-bodies, which were introduced by Giannakopoulos and Koutsoupias (2018) to analyze so-called Straight-Jacket Auctions. First, we show that the SIM-bodies belong to the class of generalized permutahedra. Second, we prove an optimality result
