Generalized First Price Auction or Generalized Second Price?

186 Views Asked by At

Sorry if I ask the same question again but in the other post I'm not able to edit my question because I wasn't using an account. By the way, the question:

I'm running some tests to decide which type of auction is better. My settings are set randomly, I mean that budgets are random, advs' value are random .... My goal is to maximize the revenue. Which one I should use?

Please note that advs' values are adjusted based upon the previous auctions (using an history).

P.S. My tests show that FPA is a little better than GSP. I draw my conclusion: let's suppose this setting: 2 advs and 3 slots: advs' values are 5 and 3, so in FPA the revenue is 5+3 = 8 but in GSP is 3+0 because there isn't a 3rd adv. So revenue(FPA)>revenue(GSP). It this right?
