Outline of Research at the Start

This project addresses three issues: Issue 1: Efficient multi-item auction theory with unit-demand financially constrained bidders; Issue 2: Efficient multi-item auction theory with multi-unit-demand financially constrained bidders; Issue 3: Experiments on auction performance and bidders’ auction behavior of Issue 1. The obtained results establish the theoretical foundation of efficient multi-item auctions with financial constraints. They also provide the first experimental test of efficient auction theory with financial constraints.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project is aimed at providing a systematical analysis of a systematic study of efficient multi-item auctions with financial constraints. During the four-year research period (including one-year carry-over due to the Covid-19), the project went on well and I obtained several research achievements. The first achievement is that I published five papers in peer-reviewed international top economic journals. The second research achievement is that I presented my research results in a variety of important domestic and international seminars and conferences. In my talks, I intersected with international famous researchers and collected comments from them to improve my results. Such communications also helped advice the importance of this project. I believed that results generated by this projects have obtained wide recognitions of international academia.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

(1) My work is published in peer-reviewed international top journal;(2) My seminar and conference presentations obtain wide recognitions of international academia;(3) The obtained results can be patented in the near future; (4) I got two international acedemic awards
