On Revenue Maximization in Second-Price Ad Auctions (2009)

Azar, Yossi, Birnbaum, Benjamin, Karlin, Anna R., Nguyen, C. Thach

Most recent papers addressing the algorithmic problem of allocating advertisement space for keywords in sponsored search auctions assume that pricing is done via a first-price auction, which does not...
