Negotiation or Auction? The NorA project
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nora is a joint project between Concordia University, Canada, and University Karlsruhe, Germany, through which a group of researchers of Auction and Negotiation meet together in order to deeply investigate the differences and possible impacts of the use of different electronic market mechanisms. The objective of the project is to build a comprehensive research framework and knowledge base from multiple discipline perspectives (e.g. economics, behavioral science, psychology, information system (IS) research, computer science, etc), through continuous and accumulative work. The research under this project would bring valuable knowledge and support to businesses, helping them to do better decision in transactions, especially in the cyberspace (Malone et al., 1987), whereby the appropriate use of electronic market transaction system and mechanisms would further increase social welfare and better satisfy agents with the transaction process if possible (Smith, 1982).

A Comparative Study of Multi-Attribute Continuous Double Auction Mechanisms
Auctions have been as a competitive method of buying and selling valuable or rare items for a long time. Single-sided auctions in which participants negotiate on a single attribute (e.g. price) are very popular. Double auctions and negotiation on multiple attributes create more advantages compared to single-sided and single-attribute auctions. Nonetheless, this adds the complexity of the auctio...
متن کاملNegotiation and Auction Mechanisms in E-procurement: Systems and Experiments
Auctions and negotiations are mechanisms used in market exchanges. Behavioral economics experiments focused on the mechanism efficiency which required highly simplified problems and contexts. This paper discusses an on-going project involving an experimental comparison of auction and negotiation mechanisms embedded in software which we have developed. The experiments are situated in an e-busine...
متن کاملApproximating the Qualitative Vickrey Auction by a Negotiation Protocol1
Some auction mechanisms can be shown to be efficient and strategy-proof. However, they generally require that the preferences of at least one side of the auction are publicly known. However, sometimes it is very costly, impossible, or undesirable to publicly announce such preferences. It thus is interesting to find methods that do not impose this constraint but still approximate the outcome of ...
متن کاملApproximating the Qualitative Vickrey Auction by a Negotiation Protocol
A result of Bulow and Klemperer has suggested that auctions may be a better tool to obtain an efficient outcome than negotiation. For example, some auction mechanisms can be shown to be efficient and strategy-proof. However, they generally also require that the preferences of at least one side of the auction are publicly known. However, sometimes it is very costly, impossible, or undesirable to...
