ABSTRACT
This position paper outlines possible research directions related to market-based methods, especially as they apply to logistic settings. First, we describe some of the characteristics of the logistics domain. Next, we identify and discuss some fundamental research problems which we consider open and relevant for this domain, from the agent-based electronic markets perspective.

Precision in a Seller’s Market: Round Asking Prices Lead to Higher Counteroffers and Selling Prices
Precise, compared with round, asking prices lead to counteroffers and final agreements that are closer to the asking price. Consequently, popular advice for sellers is to set precise asking prices. We propose that the advice is useful, but only in a buyer’...
Robust Repeated Auctions under Heterogeneous Buyer Behavior
EC '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Conference on Economics and ComputationWe study revenue optimization in a repeated auction between a single seller anda single buyer. Traditionally, the design of repeated auctions requires strong modeling assumptions about the bidder behavior, such as it being myopic, infinite lookahead, or ...
Multiplicative Pacing Equilibria in Auction Markets
Budgets play a significant role in ad markets that implement sequential auctions such as those hosted by internet companies. In “Multiplicative Pacing Equilibria in Auction Markets,” the authors look at pacing in an ad marketplace using the lens of game ...
Budgets play a significant role in real-world sequential auction markets such as those implemented by internet companies. To maximize the value provided to auction participants, spending is smoothed across auctions so budgets are used for the best ...
