The 14 pages that link to Auction theory, each with the reason it gives.

• Game theoryRelated: Bidders’ strategies depend on their beliefs about rivals and the auction format.

• Mechanism designBroader topic: Auction design is a central application of private-information mechanism design.

• John NashRelated: Strategic bidding is commonly modeled using equilibrium concepts associated with Nash.

• Mathematical economicsBroader topic: Its models derive how rules and bidder information affect prices and allocations.

• Information economicsRelated: Bidders often hold private values or estimates, making information central to auction design.

• Extensive-form gameRelated: Sequential auction formats can be analyzed through their move order and information structure.

• Experimental economicsRelated: Laboratory auctions test theoretical predictions before rules are used in practice.

• Eric MaskinRelated: Auction design is a prominent application of strategic rule-making studied in mechanism design.

• Robert AumannRelated: Game theory of information and incentives provides tools for analyzing strategic bidding.

• Roger MyersonRelated: His optimal-auction results became a central part of modern auction theory.

• John HarsanyiRelated: Bidders’ private valuations make auctions natural applications of Bayesian games.

• William VickreyNarrower topic: His analysis of bidding incentives became a foundation of modern auction theory.

• Game (game theory)Related: Auctions model bidders whose outcomes depend on their own and others’ bids.

• John Forbes Nash Jr.Related: Nash equilibrium provides a framework for predicting strategic bids under auction rules.
