Real-time bidding (RTB) advertising is a fast-growing business model in online display advertising markets. Unlike the guaranteed display advertising, it utilizes programmatic instantaneous auction to price and sell ad inventory on a per-impression basis. RTB en bales advertisers to target audiences at demographic, psychographic or behavioral levels across a wide range of websites. In RTB markets, information about target audiences is usually disclosed to advertisers, while information about publishers (e.g. website ranking, advertising page) are typically not avaliable for advertisers, especially in real-time setting. This leads to a serious information asymmetry problem in RTB markets, which has significant influence on both advertisers' bidding strategies and publishers' revenues. In this paper, we study the information disclosure strategies of publishers in case when the disclosure may incur an extra cost. We address this information asymmetry problem by first formulating the RTB auction as an second-price sealed-bid game, then discussing equilibrium information disclosure strategies for publishers and also investigating advertisers' bidding strategies in the three information disclosure cases: all disclosed, non-disclosed, and partially disclosed. We find that non-disclosed and partially disclosed strategies may lead to an adverse selection effect, and high-quality publishers will be forced to quit the RTB markets.

In search advertisements, advertisers have to seek for an effective allocation strategy to distribute the limited budget over a series of sequential temporal slots (e.g., days). However, advertisers usually have no sufficient knowledge to determine the optimal budget for each temporal slot, because there exist much uncertainty in search advertising markets. In this paper, we present a stochastic model for budget distribution over a series of sequential temporal slots under a finite time horizon, assuming that the best budget is a random variable. We study some properties and feasible solutions for our model, taking the best budget being characterized by either normal distribution or uniform distribution, respectively. Furthermore, we also make some experiments to evaluate our model and identify strategies with the real-world data collected from practical advertising campaigns. Experimental results show that a) our strategies outperform the baseline strategy that is commonly used in practice;b) the optimal budget is more likely to be normally distributed than uniformly distributed.

For e-commerce websites collective actions have significant influence on the behaviors and decisions of individual customers. In this work, we propose a dynamic utility model for customers in e-commerce by considering a “social choice force” (SCF) effect on utility functions of agents. We apply the Artificial societies, Computational experiments, and Parallel execution (ACP) approach to investigate the short-term efforts of collective action manipulation. Experimental results show that the proposed agent model and algorithm outperform the baseline prediction algorithm and illustrate the effect of collective action manipulation in a group buying directory website.
