The trend toward deregulation and greater reliance on market-based mechanisms has raised global interest in the use of auctions as a transparent, fair, and efficient means of allocating scarce resources. Whether selling off state assets in a deregulated industry or allocating commodities, such as wireless spectrum, financial instruments, airport access rights, or energy, governments and the private sector have increasingly turned to auctions as a way to transfer resources. Auctioneers’ implementation of appropriate auction designs and bidders’ choice of profit-maximizing bidding strategies have become critical issues facing government policymakers and business leaders in an increasing number of industries across the globe.
