Putting Auction Theory to Work: The Simultaneous Ascending Auction
回顾了同步增价拍卖的初始设计和后续改进中经济理论的应用，分析了该拍卖的能力与局限、详细规则的作用、组合竞价的可能性以及以收入而非效率为首要目标时的调整考虑。
I review the uses of economic theory in the initial design and later improvement of the "simultaneous ascending auction," which was developed initially for the sale of radio spectrum licenses in the United States. I analyze some capabilities and limitations of the auction, the roles of various detailed rules, the possibilities for introducing combinatorial bidding, and some considerations in adapting the auction for sales in which revenue, rather than efficiency, is the primary goal.
