Title
Optimal reserve prices in weighted GSP auctions.
Abstract
•We show how to determine the optimal reserve price of the weighted GSP mechanism in Bayesian settings.•We prove that the wGSP auction with this discriminatory re-serve price is a Myerson optimal auction.•This optimal reserve price can be extended to support CPA/CPC/CPM hybrid auction.•Our simulations indicate that setting a proper reserve price will make bidders transfer surplus to payment.•We describe a practical implementation method to compute optimal reserve prices in production systems.
