Non‐Clairvoyant Dynamic Mechanism Design
提出一类新的动态机制，限制卖家使用未来分布信息，并建立框架来刻画、设计及比较预知与非预知动态机制的收益提取能力。
We introduce a new family of dynamic mechanisms that restricts sellers from using future distributional knowledge. Since the allocation and pricing of each auction period do not depend on the type distributions of future periods, we call this family of dynamic mechanisms non‐clairvoyant. We develop a framework (bank account mechanisms) for characterizing, designing, and proving lower bounds for dynamic mechanisms (clairvoyant or non‐clairvoyant). We use the same methods to compare the revenue extraction power of clairvoyant and non‐clairvoyant dynamic mechanisms.
