Optimisation of auction designs

The design, i.e. the general rules regarding pricing, transparency, etc., is the most important factor with online calls for bids, and auctions. But especially in this field designs partially show essential flaws. In the long run, these flaws will undermine the confidence in market mechanisms and will result in test-using e-sourcing instruments only once, and then abandon them due to inappropriateness. Our performance and services rely on both: a long-term experimental and empirical experience in the field of research and projects for a wide rage of different auction designs. Thus we can support our clients regarding audits, certifications, and developments of available and future auction designs. 

Furthermore we prepare and compile studies as well as analyses for existing and prospective auction designs, e.g. game-theoretical analyses to judge incentive compatibility and fairness.
