ECON 4050: Market Design
Economists are increasingly involved not just in studying but in designing practical
market mechanisms. These include auctions to sell diamonds, timber, electricity,
procurement contracts and radio spectrum; matching algorithms to assign students to
schools, or candidates to jobs; as well as marketplaces and mechanisms to sell internet
advertising, trade financial securities, or reward innovation. The field of market design
studies how to construct rules for allocating resources or to structure successful
marketplaces.
