Budget-additive valuation

In economics, a budget-additive valuation is a kind of a utility function. It corresponds to a person that, when given a set of items, evaluates them in the following way: * For each item j, there is a fixed value vj. * There is also a fixed budget B. * The value of the set of items is the minimum between B and the sum of values of items in the set. Budget-additive valuations are useful in the research of online advertising, combinatorial auctions, resource allocation, and market equilibrium.
