The study of combinatorial auctions -- auctions in which bidders can bid on combinations of items or "packages" -- draws on the disciplines of economics, operations research, and computer science. This landmark collection integrates these three perspectives, offering a state-of-the art survey of...

A comprehensive book on combinatorial auctions?auctions in which bidders can bid on packages of items. The book consists of original material intended for researchers, students, and practitioners of auction design. It includes a foreword by Vernon Smith, an introduction to combinatorial...

An auction is combinatorial when bidders can place bids on combinations of items, called “packages,” rather than just individual items. Computer scientists are interested in combinatorial auctions because they are concerned with the expressiveness of bidding languages, as well as the...

We generalize traditional equilibrium concepts for finite games in extensive form with behavioral strategies so that they apply to all games, including games of imperfect recall. Adapting and augmenting previous de finitions (in particular, by Piccione and Rubinstein, and by Battigalli), we de...
