1 14.125: Market Design Last updated: 2/3/14 This is an advanced topics course on market and mechanism design. We will study existing or new market institutions, understand their properties, and think about whether they can be re-engineered or improved. This course assumes knowledge of the first year economics PhD sequence, especially microeconomic theory ( ). Game theory (14.126) and courses from the industrial organization sequence are helpful, but not essential as background. Instructor: Parag Pathak, E17-240, OH: Wednesday 1-2pm, or by appt TA: Yusuke Narita, OH: TBD Course requirements: There will be three problem sets and one final paper. Depending on final course enrollment, we may ask students to do a class presentation on their final paper. Details will be distributed later in the semester.
