This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $460,041 awarded to the University of Texas at Austin on October 1, 2021 supports research in algorithmic mechanism design under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The two-year project aims to develop new algorithmic techniques for designing market mechanisms that model consumer behavior and other real-world constraints more faithfully while maintaining simplicity and near-optimal performance. Specifically, the research will focus on revenue maximization under a "buy-many" constraint, develop efficient online allocation algorithms as demand arrives over time, and study pricing strategies to lessen buyer risk when values are uncertain. Insights from this work apply to mechanism design across various electronic marketplaces. The place of performance is Austin, Texas. As the prime awardee, the University of Texas at Austin will deliver the proposed research products and services with the University of Texas System as its parent organization.
