This course gives an introduction to the theory of mechanism and market design and some of its key-applications.
The main theoretical building blocks are the theory of social choice, incentives, implementation, and matching that will be addressed throughout the first week of the course. The theoretical insights will be applied to the design of (entry-level) labor markets, exchange platforms for student housing or organ-transplants, and the allocation of infrastructure throughout the second week of the course.
