Title
An Experimental Auction to Allocated Congested IT Resources: The Case of the University of Pennsylvania Modem Pool
Abstract
We examine a market-based proposed solution to the modem-pool access challenges faced at the University of Pennsylvania. Experimental data demonstrate that an Nth-price auction used to allocate scarce IT resources (such as congested modem pool access lines) produces a Pareto improvement in practice as well as in theory. We suggest first steps towards implementing this system, which provides users of congestible resources with a method of setting their own priority to be served.
