This paper evaluates performance of human subjects and instances of a bidding model that interact in continuous-time double auction experiments. Asks submitted by instances of the seller model ("automated sellers") maximize the seller's expected surplus relative to a heuristic belief function,...

This work introduces a rigorous set-theoretic foundation of bilateral matching mechanisms and studies their properties … in a systematic manner. By providing a unified framework to study ilateral matching mechanisms, we formalize how … different spatial/informational constraints can be implemented via a careful selection of matching mechanisms. In particular …
