Background. Our results tie into the literature on contention resolution schemes [3], which we
briefly define. Let P (𝐺) denote the fractional matching polytope of a graph 𝐺=(𝑉, 𝐸). In a …

Classical auction theory typically focuses on models with exogenous signal structures,
where all auction participants privately know their item valuations. However, practical …

We study single-item single-unit Bayesian posted price auctions, where buyers arrive
sequentially and their valuations for the item being sold depend on a random, unknown …

Time or money? That is a question! In this paper, we consider this dilemma in the pricing
regime, in which we try to find the optimal pricing scheme for identical items with …

We consider the well-studied sequential posted pricing scenarios. In these scenarios, an
auctioneer typically learns the value distributions of all agents as prior information and then …

This thesis focuses on the following question: is it possible to influence the behavior of self-
interested agents through the strategic provision of information? This sweet talk is ubiquitous …
