Abstract
The Internet has opened opportunities for efficient on-line trading, and
researchers have developed algorithms for various auctions, as well as
exchanges for standardized commodities; however, they have done little
work on exchanges for complex nonstandard goods. We propose a formal
model for trading complex goods, present an exchange system that allows
traders to describe purchases and sales by multiple attributes, and give
the results of applying it to a used-car market and corporate-bond market.
