Course Description
Market design, instead of taking allocation procedures as given, aims to improve their performance. Some of the prominent examples are spectrum auctions, electricity markets, school choice, kidney exchange, position auctions for online advertisements, matching of medical residents with hospitals, congestion pricing, electronic markets and e-commerce. The aim of the course is to build on the game theoretic tools from the prior semester and to explore some of the above topics in greater detail, with a focus on real world applications and on empirical as well as experimental data.
