WCU/BK Summer Economics Program

Market Design, Networks, and Information





Market Design is an exciting new field in economic theory that attempts to find a practical solution to important real-life allocation problems, ranging from assignment of mineral rights, radio spectrum licenses, procurement contracts, carbon emission rights, school choice, placement of advertising in Internet search engines, to the design of financial rescue packages. The internationally distinguished scholars will discuss the methodological framework and tools essential for understanding and conducting research on these subject matters.
