Abstract

We show that for multi-unit auctions, of which bundle auctions are a special case, market equilibrium and constrained market equilibrium are equivalent concepts. This equivalence, allows us to obtain a computable necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of (constrained) market equilibrium for multi-unit auctions.

Keywords: existence, market equilibrium, linear programming
