What Have We Learned From Market Design?

Alvin E. Roth

NBER Working Paper No. 13530
Issued in October 2007

---- Acknowledgments ----

This paper was prepared to accompany the Hahn Lecture I delivered at the Royal Economic Society meetings, on April 11, 2007 at the University of Warwick. The work I report here is a joint effort of many colleagues and coauthors. I pay particular attention here to work with Atila Abdulkadiroglu, Muriel Niederle, Parag Pathak, Tayfun Sonmez, and Utku Unver. I've also benefited from many conversations on this topic with Paul Milgrom (including two years teaching together a course on Market Design). This work has been supported by grants from the NSF to the NBER. The views expressed herein are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Bureau of Economic Research.
