  • BUNDLES FOR AN EFFICIENT AUCTION DESIGN
    Publication number: 20210118056
    Abstract: One aspect of our invention is a bundle rule that could make demand and/or supply of different packages more independent, which would simplify the bidding process, the verification that bids comply with a bidding format, clearing of the auction and presentation of information to traders. A second aspect is that bundling can be automatically updated with regard to auction relevant information before the auction starts or during the auction process. Several aspects of our invention can be combined in an exemplary design. Aspects of our invention can be implemented in computer systems.
