The bid picture: Nobel prize winners explain auction theory

[PDF] From auction theory to market design: Paul Milgrom and Robert
The 2020 Economics Nobel Prize was awarded to Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson. Both laureates have made seminal, crucial contributions to auction theory and practical market design. Here, we briefly describe those contributions and their significance within the general context of auction theory and practice. We also review the laureates' substantial and highly influential work in other areas ...
PDF improvements to auction theory and inventions of new auction formats
The resulting improvements to auction theory and in-ventions of new auction formats have been truly collective efforts. But two scholars stand out: Paul R. Milgrom and Robert B. Wilson, both of Stanford University, and this year's Laureates in Economic Sciences. Their research has deepened and broadened the field's analytical foun-dations.

PDF An Introduction to Auction Theory, by Flavio M. Menezes and Paulo K
Few areas of microeconomic research have had the success that auction theory has enjoyed in the 45 years since William Vickery published his Nobel Prize winning paper "Counterspeculation, Auctions and Competitive Sealed Tenders" in the Journal of Finance. The public policy significance of auction theory is readily apparent from the crucial ...

Auctions: Theory and Practice by Paul Klemperer
Abstract. This book is a non-technical introduction to auction theory; its practical application in auction design (including many examples); and its uses in other parts of economics. It can be used for a graduate course on auction theory, or - by picking selectively - an advanced undergraduate or MBA course on auctions and auction design.

The first paper is about situations in which the outcome of an auction determines the market structure of a consumer market. The Dutch petrol market is used as an illustration for this model. The second and the third papers, both motivated by the UMTS auctions that took place in Europe, consider auctions in which losing bidders obtain financial ...
Auction Theory Research Papers
A number of papers in the theoretical auction literature show that the release of information regarding the seller's valuation of an item can cause bidders to bid more aggressively. This widely accepted result in auction theory remains largely untested in the empirical literature.
