| In [[auction theory]], a '''Vickrey–Clarke–Groves (VCG) auction''' of multiple goods is a [[Sealed-bid auction|sealed-bid]] [[auction]] wherein bidders report their valuations for the items. The auction system assigns the items in a [[socially optimal]] manner. This system charges each individual the harm they cause to other bidders,<ref>{{cite web | last = von Ahn | first = Luis | authorlink = Luis von Ahn | coauthors = | title = Sponsored Search | work = 15–396: Science of the Web Course Notes | publisher = Carnegie Mellon University | date = 2008-10-07 | url = http://scienceoftheweb.org/15-396/lectures/lecture11.pdf | format = PDF | doi = | accessdate = 2008-11-05}}</ref> and ensures that the optimal strategy for a bidder is to bid the true valuations of the objects. It is a generalization of a [[Vickrey auction]] for multiple items.
| |
| | |
| The auction is named after [[William Vickrey]],<ref>{{cite journal | title=Counterspeculation, Auctions, and Competitive Sealed Tenders | author=Vickrey, William | journal=The Journal of Finance | year=1961 | volume=16 | issue=1 | pages=8–37 | doi=10.1111/j.1540-6261.1961.tb02789.x}}</ref> [[Edward H.

| == Formal description==
| |
| For any set of auctioned items <math>M = \{t_1,\ldots,t_m\}</math> and a set of bidders <math>N = \{b_1,\ldots,b_n\}</math>, let <math>V^M_N</math> be the social value of the VCG auction for a given bid-combination. A bidder <math>b_i</math> who wins an item <math>t_j</math> pays <math>V^{M}_{N \setminus \{b_i\}}-V^{M \setminus \{t_j\}}_{N \setminus \{b_i\}}</math>, which is the social cost of his winning that is incurred by the rest of the agents
| |
| | |
| Indeed, the set of bidders other than <math>b_i</math> is <math>N \setminus \{b_i\}</math>. When item <math>t_j</math> is available, they could attain welfare <math>V^{M}_{N \setminus \{b_i\}}.</math> The winning of the item by <math>b_i</math> reduces the set of available items to <math>M \setminus \{t_j\}</math>, however, so that the attainable welfare is now <math>V^{M \setminus \{t_j\}}_{N \setminus \{b_i\}}</math>. The difference between the two levels of welfare is the payment for <math>t_j</math> paid by the winning bidder <math>b_i</math>.
| |
| | |
| The winning bidder who has value <math>A</math> for the item <math>t_j</math> derives therefore utility <math>A - \left(V^{M}_{N \setminus \{b_i\}}-V^{M \setminus \{t_j\}}_{N \setminus \{b_i\}}\right).</math>
| |
| | |
| ==Examples== | |
| | |
| ===Example #1===
| |
| See the example with apples in the [[Vickrey_Auction#Generalizations|Generalization]] section of Vickrey Auction.
| |
| ===Example #2===
| |
| Assume that there are two bidders, <math>b_1</math> and <math>b_2</math>, two items, <math>t_1</math> and <math>t_2</math>, and each bidder is allowed to obtain one item. We let <math>v_{i,j}</math> be bidder <math>b_i</math>'s valuation for item <math>t_j</math>. Assume <math>v_{1,1} = 10</math>, <math>v_{1,2} = 5</math>, <math>v_{2,1} = 5</math>, and <math>v_{2,2} = 3</math>. We see that both <math>b_1</math> and <math>b_2</math> would prefer to receive item <math>t_1</math>; however, the socially optimal assignment gives item <math>t_1</math> to bidder <math>b_1</math> (so his achieved value is <math>10</math>) and item <math>t_2</math> to bidder <math>b_2</math> (so his achieved value is <math>3</math>). Hence, the total achieved value is <math>13</math>, which is optimal.
| |
| | |
| If person <math>b_2</math> were not in the auction, person <math>b_1</math> would still be assigned to <math>t_1</math>, and hence person <math>b_1</math> can gain nothing. The current outcome is <math>10</math> hence <math>b_2</math> is charged <math>10-10=0</math>.
| |
| | |
| If person <math>b_1</math> were not in the auction, <math>t_1</math> would be assigned to <math>b_2</math>, and would have valuation <math>5</math>. The current outcome is 3 hence <math>b_1</math> is charged <math>5-3=2</math>.
| |
| | |
| ===Example #3===
| |
| Here we will look at a multiple item auction. Consider the situation when there are <math>n</math> bidders, <math>n</math> houses, and values <math>\tilde v_{ij}</math>, representing
| |
| the value player <math>i</math> has for house <math>j</math>. Possible outcomes in this auction are characterized by [[Matching (graph theory)|bipartite matchings]], pairing houses with people.
| |
| If we know the values, then maximizing social welfare reduces to computing a maximum weight bipartite matching.
| |
| | |
| If we do not know the values, then we instead solicit bids <math>\tilde b_{ij}</math>, asking each player <math>i</math> how much he would wish to bid for house <math>j</math>.
| |
| Define <math>b_i(a) = \tilde b_{ik}</math> if bidder <math>i</math> receives house <math>k</math> in the matching <math>a</math>. Now compute <math>a^*</math>, a maximum weight
| |
| bipartite matching with respect to the bids, and compute
| |
| | |
| : <math>p_i = \left[ \max_{a \in A} \sum_{j \neq i} b_j(a) \right] - \sum_{j \neq i} b_j(a^*) </math>. | |
| | |
| The first term is another max weight bipartite matching, and the second term can be computed easily from <math>a^*</math>.
| |
| | |
| ==Optimality of Truthful Bidding==
| |
| The following is a proof that bidding one's true valuations for the auctioned items is optimal<ref>{{cite web

| |
| | first = Luis

| |
| | |
| For each bidder <math>b_i</math>, let <math>v_i</math> be his true valuation of an item <math>t_i</math>, and suppose ([[without loss of generality]]) that <math>b_1</math> wins <math>t_1</math> upon submitting his true valuations.
| |
| | |
| Note that the size bid of <math>b_1</math> has no effect on his utility as long as he wins the item (see the utility function above). Hence, we assume that <math>b_1</math> does not bid truthfully, and receives item <math>t_j</math> because of his non-truthful bidding. In the truthful bidding case, <math>b_1</math> has total utility <math>U_1 = v_1-\left(V^{M}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}}-V^{M \setminus \{t_1\}}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}}\right)</math>. In the untruthful bidding case, <math>b_1</math> has total utility <math>U_2 = v_j-\left(V^{M}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}}-V^{M \setminus \{t_j\}}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}}\right)</math>. Hence, we must prove that <math>U_1 - U_2 \geq 0</math>, which shows that the utility received from truthful bidding is always at least that received from untruthful bidding.
| |
| | |
| : <math>U_1 - U_2 = v_1 - \left(V^{M}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}} - V^{M \setminus \{t_1\}}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}}\right) - v_j + \left(V^{M}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}}-V^{M \setminus \{t_j\}}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}}\right) = \left[v_1 + V^{M \setminus \{t_1\}}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}}\right] - \left[v_j + V^{M \setminus \{t_j\}}_{N \setminus \{b_1\}}\right] </math>
| |
| | |
| However, the first term there is the maximum total social value achieved when <math>b_1</math> received <math>t_1</math>, and the second term there is the maximum total social value achieved when <math>b_1</math> received <math>t_j</math>. However, we assumed that the VCG auction gave <math>b_1</math> item <math>t_1</math>; hence, the first term must be greater, and <math>U_1 - U_2 \geq 0</math>.
| |
| | |
| ==More general setting==
| |
| | |
| We can consider a more general setting<ref>Nisan, Roughgarden, Tardos and Vazirani, '''Algorithmic Game Theory''', Cambridge, 2007</ref> of the VCG mechanism. Consider a set <math>A</math> of possible outcomes and <math>n</math> bidders which have different valuations for each outcome. This can be expressed as, function
| |
| | |
| : <math>v_i : A \longrightarrow R_+</math>
| |
| | |
| for each bidder <math>i</math> which expresses the value it has for each alternative. In this auction, each bidder will submit his valuation and the VCG mechanism will choose the alternative <math>a \in A </math> that maximizes <math> \sum_i v_i(a)</math> and charge prices <math>p_i</math> given by:
| |
| | |
| : <math>p_i = h_i(v_{-i}) - \sum_{j \neq i} v_j(a)</math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>v_{-i} = (v_1, \dots, v_{i-1}, v_{i+1}, \dots, v_n)</math>, that is, <math>h_i</math> is a function that only depends on the valuation of the other players. This alone gives a [[Mechanism design#Direct truthful mechanisms|truthful mechanism]], that is, a mechanism where bidding the true valuation is a [[dominant strategy]].
| |
| | |
| We could take, for example, <math>h_i(v_{-i}) = 0</math>, but we would have all prices negative, which might not be desirable. We would rather prefer that players give money to the mechanism than the other way around. The function:
| |
| | |
| : <math>h_i(v_{-i}) = \max_{b \in A} \sum_{j \neq i} v_j(b)</math>
| |
| | |
| is called ''Clarke pivot rule''.
| |
| | |
| On the other hand, if we do not know the values <math>v_i</math>, we can solicit bids <math>b_i : A \longrightarrow R_+</math>. The mechanism
| |
| then chooses <math>a^*</math> maximizing the revenue <math>\sum_i b_i(a^*)</math>, treating the bids like the values. We then set
| |
| | |
| : <math>p_i = \left[ \max_{a \in A} \sum_{j \neq i} b_j(a) \right] - \sum_{j \neq i} b_j(a^*).</math>
| |
| | |
| Intuitively, the mechanism charges player <math>i</math> his ''externality'', or the decrease in optimal social welfare when he is included in the auction.
| |
| | |
| The Clark pivot rule has some very good properties as: | |
| | |
| * it is individually rational, i.e., <math>v_i (a) - p_i \geq 0</math>. It means that all the players are getting positive utility by participating in the auction. No one is forced to bid.
| |
| | |
| * it has no positive transfers, i.e., <math>p_i \geq 0</math>. The mechanism does not need to pay anything to the bidders.
