Auction Theory - Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson

Available for over a year

Paul Milgrom and his former tutor Robert Wilson worked together for years developing ways to run complicated auctions for large resources. This month the two Stanford University professors were awarded the Nobel memorial prize in economics for their work. The auction formats they designed facilitated the sale of goods and services that are difficult to sell in a conventional way, such as radio frequencies. (L-R Paul Millgrom and Robert Wilson.
