We study the price of anarchy for social welfare in such auctions. We show for a variety of equilibrium concepts, including Bayes-Nash equilibrium and correlated equilibrium, the resulting price of anarchy bound is close to the approximation factor of the underlying greedy algorithm.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/price-anarchy-greedy-auctions/}, edition = {Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA) 2010}, }
