Efficiency: maximize social welfare: Give the item to the buyer that wants it the most. (regardless of payments.) Fairness: An auction that greedily maximizes the total utility of all users (i.e., the social welfare) in each round could lead to a subset of secondary users starving for products. AGT-MIRI Single item auctions

  53. Goals Context and Definitions SP Auctions Some classic auctions FP Auctions Analyzing auctions Bidder goal Auctions are used precisely because the seller is unsure about the values that bidders attach to the object being sold. A valuation is the maximum amount each bidder is willing to pay. AGT-MIRI Single item auctions

  54. Goals Context and Definitions SP Auctions Some classic auctions FP Auctions Analyzing auctions Bidder goal Auctions are used precisely because the seller is unsure about the values that bidders attach to the object being sold. A valuation is the maximum amount each bidder is willing to pay. If each bidder knows the value of the object to himself at the time of bidding, the situation is called one of private values.

  55. Goals Context and Definitions SP Auctions Some classic auctions FP Auctions Analyzing auctions Bidder goal Auctions are used precisely because the seller is unsure about the values that bidders attach to the object being sold. A valuation is the maximum amount each bidder is willing to pay. If each bidder knows the value of the object to himself at the time of bidding, the situation is called one of private values. No bidder knows with certainty the valuations of other bidders and knowledge of other bidders’ values would not affect how much the object is worth to a particular bidder.

  57.

  59. Goals Context and Definitions SP Auctions Some classic auctions FP Auctions Analyzing auctions SP-Auctions: strategic equivalences Lemma SP-auctions are equivalent to Japanese auctions. Given that bidders bid truthfully, the outcomes in the two auctions are the same. Actually, in Japanese auctions bidders observe additional information: valuations of other players. This might create a herd phenomena. AGT-MIRI Single item auctions

Given that bidders bid truthfully, the outcomes in the two auctions are the same. Actually, in Japanese auctions bidders observe additional information: valuations of other players. This might create a herd phenomena. But do bidders bid truthfully in SP-auctions? AGT-MIRI Single item auctions

  61. Goals Context and Definitions SP Auctions Some classic auctions FP Auctions Analyzing auctions SP-Auction: Modeling n bidders Each bidder has value v i for the item willingness to pay. Known only to him – private value. If Bidder i wins and pays p i , his utility is v i – p i . Her utility is 0 when she loses. AGT-MIRI Single item auctions

  66. Goals Context and Definitions SP Auctions Some classic auctions FP Auctions Analyzing auctions SP-Auction: Strategies A strategy for each bidder: how to bid given your value? Examples for strategies: b i ( v i ) = v i truthful! b i ( v i ) = v i / 2 b i ( v i ) = v i / n if you have information on the number of bidders. If v i < 50, b i ( v i ) = v i ; otherwise, b i ( v i ) = v i + 17. AGT-MIRI Single item auctions

If v i < 50, b i ( v i ) = v i ; otherwise, b i ( v i ) = v i + 17. The auction is a strategic game, where these strategies are the pure strategies (infinitely many). AGT-MIRI Single item auctions

Goals Context and Definitions SP Auctions Some classic auctions FP Auctions Analyzing auctions SP-Auctions: Equilibrium behaviour Theorem In SP-price auctions truth-telling is a dominant strategy. In Japanese auctions with private values too. Let’s prove now that truthfulness is a dominant strategy. The proof is by case analysis.
