Robust Auction Design (Room C)
This tutorial focuses on informationally robust auction design; that is, designing auctions to work well regardless of the bidders’ higher-order beliefs about their values.  Informational robustness is desirable for running auctions in practice, since the real-world auctioneer is unlikely to have detailed knowledge of the informational environment; it also addresses the critiques of Bayesian mechanism design, such as the full-surplus extraction results of Cremer and McLean (1988), which are based on the premise that the designer has exact knowledge of the informational environment.  We cover the main methodology and results, and contrast them with the earlier approaches to robust mechanism design (such as ex post implementation) and related topics such as robust predictions in games.
