A Theory of Auctions and Competitive Bidding
回顾了既有拍卖理论的重要成果，提出了一个通用拍卖模型，并总结了分析结果。模型基于关联随机变量，相关定理在后续章节展开。
Abstract : In Section 2, we review some important results of the received auction theory, introduce a new general auction model, and summarize the results of our analysis. Section 3 contains a formal statement of our model, and develops the properties of affiliated random variables. The various theorems are presented in Sections 4-8. In Section 9, we offer our views on the current state of auction theory. Following Section 9 is a technical appendix dealing with affiliated random variables.
