Milgrom, Steven Tadelis. "How Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Can Impact Market Design," in Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi Goldfarb, editors, "The Economics of Artificial Intelligence: An Agenda" University of Chicago Press (2019) M3 - presented at "Economics of Artificial Intelligence", September 13-14, 2017 AB - In complex environments, it is challenging to learn enough about the underlying characteristics of transactions so as to design the best institutions to efficiently generate gains from trade. In recent years, Artificial Intelligence has emerged as an important tool that allows market designers to uncover important market fundamentals, and to better predict fluctuations that can cause friction in markets. This paper offers some recent examples of how Artificial Intelligence helps market designers improve the operations of markets, and outlines directions in which it will continue to shape and influence market design.
