Variational Inequalities for Modeling Auction Markets with Price Map- pings
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose several new models for separate and spatially distributed auction based markets where participants’ reactions are described by general price mappings and show that they admit equivalent variational inequality formulations. This approach is utilized for the derivation of existence and uniqueness results and for construction of efficient solution methods.

Equilibrium Models for Multi-commodity Auction Market Problems
We propose an extension of the auction market model for the case where the market deals with many commodities and participants have binding constraints. Besides, the model includes external economic agents. We show that the formulation is an extended primal-dual system of variational inequalities or a convex-concave saddle point problem, however, cost functions require different treatment. We s...
متن کاملPrice formation and its dynamics in online auctions
This research uses functional data modeling to study the price formation process in online auctions. It conceptualizes the price evolution and its first and second derivatives (velocity and acceleration respectively) as the primary objects of interest. Together these three functional objects permit us to talk about the dynamics of an auction, and how the influence of different factors vary thro...
متن کاملSome inequalities related to the analysis of electricity auctions
Most balancing markets of electric power are organized as uniform-price auctions. In 2001, the balancing market of England and Wales switched to a pay-as-bid auction with the intention of reducing wholesale electricity prices. Numerical simulations of an electricity auction model have indicated that this should lead to decreased average prices. In this article we prove two inequalities which gi...
متن کاملPricing early exercise contracts in incomplete markets
We present a utility-based methodology for the valuation of early exercise contracts in incomplete markets. Incompleteness stems from nontraded assets on which the contracts are written. This methodology takes into account the individual’s attitude towards risk and yields nonlinear pricing rules. The early exercise indifference prices solve a quasilinear variational inequality with an obstacle ...
متن کاملAn Integrated Electric Power Supply Chain and Fuel Market Network Framework: Theoretical Modeling with Empirical Analysis for New England
Abstract: In this paper, we develop a novel electric power supply chain network model with fuel supply markets that captures both the economic network transactions in energy supply markets and the physical network transmission constraints in the electric power network. The theoretical derivation and analysis are done using the theory of variational inequalities. We then apply the model to a spe...
