Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project is aimed at providing a systematical analysis of the efficient and incentive-compatible auction theory beyond quasi-linearity. During the two-year research period, the project went on well and I obtained several research achievements. The first achievement is that I completed three research papers, which turned to be the main research outputs of this project. In particular, I published one paper in the peer-reviewed international top economic journal. I also published another two papers as working papers. 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.
