Online matching: A brief survey
Matching, capturing allocation of items to unit-demand buyers, or tasks to workers, or pairs of
collaborators, is a central problem in economics. Indeed, the growing prevalence of …

Utility and mechanism design in multi-agent systems: An overview
Future cities promise to be more autonomous than ever, largely owing to our ability of
coordinating complex systems in real time: fleets of self-driving cars will offer on-demand …

Obviously strategy-proof mechanisms
S Li - American Economic Review, 2017 - aeaweb.org
A strategy is obviously dominant if, for any deviation, at any information set where both
strategies first diverge, the best outcome under the deviation is no better than the worst …

Multi-agent contracts
We study a natural combinatorial single-principal multi-agent contract design problem, in
which a principal motivates a team of agents to exert effort toward a given task. At the heart …

Prophet inequalities made easy: Stochastic optimization by pricing nonstochastic inputs
We present a general framework for stochastic online maximization problems with
combinatorial feasibility constraints. The framework establishes prophet inequalities by …

Fair allocation of indivisible goods: Improvements and generalizations
We study the problem of fair allocation for indivisible goods. We use the maxmin share
paradigm introduced by Budish~\citeBudish: first as a measure for fairness.\procacciafirst …

A simple and approximately optimal mechanism for an additive buyer
We consider a monopolist seller with n heterogeneous items, facing a single buyer. The
buyer has a value for each item drawn independently according to (non-identical) …

A constant factor prophet inequality for online combinatorial auctions
In online combinatorial auctions m indivisible items are to be allocated to n agents who
arrive online. Agents have random valuations for the different subsets of items and the goal …

Prophet secretary for combinatorial auctions and matroids
The secretary and the prophet inequality problems are central to the field of Stop**
Theory. Recently, there has been a lot of work in generalizing these models to multiple items …

Learning simple auctions
We present a general framework for proving polynomial sample complexity bounds for the
problem of learning from samples the best auction in a class of “simple” auctions. Our …
