Optimal Multi-Unit Mechanisms with Private Demands
Nikhil R. Devanur, Nima Haghpanah, Christos-Alexandros Psomas
In the multi-unit pricing problem, multiple units of a single item are for sale. A buyer's valuation for units of the item is , where the per unit valuation…
Sequential Mechanisms with ex-post Participation Guarantees
Itai Ashlagi, Constantinos Daskalakis, Nima Haghpanah
We provide a characterization of revenue-optimal dynamic mechanisms in settings where a monopolist sells k items over k periods to a buyer who realizes his value for item i in the…
Optimal Auctions for Correlated Buyers with Sampling
Hu Fu, Nima Haghpanah, Jason Hartline +1
Crémer and McLean [1985] showed that, when buyers' valuations are drawn from a correlated distribution, an auction with full knowledge on the distribution can extract the full soci…
Multi-dimensional Virtual Values and Second-degree Price Discrimination
Nima Haghpanah, Jason Hartline
We consider a multi-dimensional screening problem of selling a product with multiple quality levels and design virtual value functions to derive conditions that imply optimality of…
The Simple Economics of Approximately Optimal Auctions
Saeed Alaei, Hu Fu, Nima Haghpanah +1
The intuition that profit is optimized by maximizing marginal revenue is a guiding principle in microeconomics. In the classical auction theory for agents with linear utility and s…
Bayesian Optimal Auctions via Multi- to Single-agent Reduction
Saeed Alaei, Hu Fu, Nima Haghpanah +2
We study an abstract optimal auction problem for a single good or service. This problem includes environments where agents have budgets, risk preferences, or multi-dimensional pref…
