Pricing Randomized Allocations

Proceedings of the Twenty-First Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, 2010
Randomized mechanisms, which map a set of bids to a probability distribution over outcomes rather than a single outcome, are an important but ill-understood area of computational mechanism design. We investigate the role of randomized outcomes (henceforth, "lotteries") in the context of a fundamental and archetypical multi-parameter mechanism design ...
