Putting Auction Theory to Work

Rating:
Summary: Very dry
Review: Paul Milgrom is a great guy and a good teacher, and clearly, his knowledge of auction theory is unparalleled. But, as such, his proofs are very slick, sometimes leaving little room for intuition, and overall, the book is extremely dry. For an advanced reader in auctions, this may be the right book, but if you're simply a game theorist/economist eager to learn the basics and foundations, I would recommend Krishna's book instead.
