Where: TTIC, 6045 S Kenwood Avenue, 5th Floor, Room 526
Who: Alon Eden, Tel Aviv University*T**itle: *Auction Design with
Interdependent Values
*Abstract:* Algorithms used in the context of strategic agents are known as
Mechanisms. Mechanism design has been studied for years but many positive
results require strong assumptions such as hyperrationality of the
participants, simultaneous events, known priors, etc. Contrawise, negative
results lump together many scenarios and are not informative. In this talk
I will discuss more robust mechanisms - removing unreasonable assumptions
when possible and doing a fine grained analysis of the ‘bad’ cases. As a
case study, I will present results on auction design with correlated
valuations.
