Publisher Synopsis
"Anyone with an interest in auction theory, market design, and more broadly, practical applications of game theory, will find this book extremelyvaluable both as a reference to the existing work on combinatorial auctions and as a source of topics and ideas for new research." Journal of Economic Literature "This book is indispensable for all researchers and practitioners that want to get introduced to the world of combinatorial auctions."
