Abstract

This paper presents an introductory survey for this special issue of Management Science on electronic markets. We acquaint the reader with some fundamental concepts in the study of electronic market mechanisms, while simultaneously presenting a survey and summary of the essential literature in this area. Along the way, we position each of the papers presented in this special issue within the existing literature, demonstrating the deep impact of these 14 articles on an already broad body of knowledge.
