Pure math saves money
"In the highly successful 1994 United States FCC auction of
broadcast frequency wavelengths, experts in mathematical game theory had
been consulted to carefully design the auction to maximize both the payoff
for the government as well as the utility of the purchased wavelengths for
buyers. By contrast, a similar New Zealand auction held without such
careful attention to design resulted in the government realizing only 15%
of the potential earnings, while the wavelengths were not efficiently
distributed (in one case, a student bought a TV license for one
dollar!)."
