This class studies how to solve problems of economic resource allocation via markets in three parts. 1: Matching markets (how to assign students to schools, kidneys to patients, workers to jobs etc). 2: Auctions (how they can be used to discover price in various environments and their use to allocate goods such as advertising, financial assets or radio spectrum). 3: Further analysis of platforms, cryptocurrencies and role of information in markets in general. Throughout the course we will discuss the issues underlying the design of successful marketplaces. The course will emphasize applications and connections between the different problems.
