Clock Auctions and Radio Spectrum Reallocation
研究多轮多产品时钟采购拍卖,证明其具有明显策略证明、群体策略证明、纳什均衡定价、保护赢家隐私和满足预算约束等特性,并通过美国激励拍卖模拟验证其高效低价。
We study the class of multiround, multiproduct clock procurement auctions that reduce offered prices at each round. When prices stop declining, the remaining bidders become the winning sellers. For single-minded bidders, each such auction has five properties not shared by Vickrey auctions: each is obviously strategy-proof and group-strategy-proof, sets prices that are Nash equilibrium winning bids in the related first-price auction, preserves winner privacy about values, and can be extended to satisfy a budget constraint. In simulations of the US incentive auction, a heuristic clock auction from this class achieves quick computations, high efficiency, and low prices.
