Achieving Coordinated Landscape-scale Outcomes with Auction Mechanisms

This project will apply recent advances in auction theory together with CSIRO’s experience of conservation tenders around Australia to develop principles for auction design that are capable of delivering efficient, coordinated outcomes across landscapes

Outcomes

1. Develop the next generation of auction (competitive tender) based instruments which deliver superior levels of engagement and coordination in order to achieve landscape scale change.

2. Adapt and further develop combinatorial auction mechanisms, previously applied to other coordination problems, for application in competitive conservation tenders.
