Auction Theory

by Vijay Krishna

Vijay Krishna's 2e of Auction Theory improves upon his 2002 bestseller with a new chapter on package and position auctions as well as end-of-chapter questions and chapter notes. Complete proofs and new material about collusion complement Krishna's ability to reveal the basic facts of each theory in a style that is clear, concise, and easy to follow. With the addition of a solutions manual and other teaching aids, the 2e continues to serve as the doorway to relevant theory for most students doing empirical work on auctions.

Good text book for pre graduate programs

[Wei Ye · Rating 4 out of 5]

For my ECON class, good reference especially appendix.

[Andreas Aristidou · Rating 4 out of 5]

On the technical side but so so good. A classic ib auction theory. Covers all the standard auctions: English, Dutch, First / Second price and much more. The math is actually very comprehensible if you devote some time to it. As a bonus, a MASSIVE bonus, the appendix is fantastic. The second best appendix of any Econ book I’ve ever got my hands on. (best one being Mas-Collel)

I liked Monezes/Monteiro better though this is WAY more intuitive.
