A major challenge in combinatorial auction is to achieve economically efficient outcomes in a computationally efficient manner. William Vickrey's remarkable work demonstrated that welfare can be exactly optimized, as long as we have unbounded computational and communication resources. Because of many well-known disadvantages, applications of Vickrey's design are rare at best. A practically useful and recently studied solution is to hold simultaneous auctions for individual items. In this thesis we survey the welfare guarantees for simultaneous auctions. Most of them are positive results on the price of anarchy. Despite good performance of simultaneous auctions, it has been proved that finding a Bayesian Nash equilibrium for simultaneous sec...
