关于拍卖设计中价格确定的论述

The Discourse of Price Determination in Auction Design

摘要: 本论文聚焦2020年诺贝尔经济学奖获得者，保罗•米尔格罗姆(Paul Milgrom)关于拍卖市场设计的著作——《价格的发现：复杂约束市场中的拍卖设计》(Discovering Price: Auction Design in Market with Complex Constraints)。本书意图通过拍卖设计的方式，探讨复杂约束市场中商品价格的发现。本书的特点是：以实际生活的问题为导向，将经济学理论和拍卖实践相结合，试图通过拍卖设计的方式来确定商品的真实价格，同时也通过寻找某些反谋略的拍卖设计规范投标者的行为，使投标者的最优策略为自己的心理价位，引导卖家诚实地报价。同时，所有买家诚实报价的过程中，发现了商品的真实价格。本文意在梳理诺贝尔经济学奖得主新书的核心思路和主要结论。

Abstract: This article focuses on the 2020 Nobel Prize Winner Paul Milgrom’s bookon the design of auction markets—Discovering Price: Auction Design in Market with Complex Constraints. This book dis-cussed the prize determination mercantilism with a method of auction design in markets facing complex constraints. The book has following highlights: authors are trying to deal with complicated problems in real live by combining economic theory and auction practice. And they are trying to determine the intrinsic value of the product through auction design. The strategy-proofness of the design can also regular players’ behaviors so that the best option for bidders is to speak truth. The design can guild the sellers’ behavior and determine the goods intrinsic value. This article is aiming to introduce and summarize main thoughts and conclusions of book of the laureate.
