Here's a class by Ramesh Johari, well worth considering in the Winter quarter at Stanford:
MS&E 336: Platform and Marketplace Design The last
decade has witnessed a meteoric rise in the number of online markets and
platforms competing with traditional mechanisms of trade. Examples of such
markets include online marketplaces for goods, such as eBay; online dating
markets; markets for shared resources, such as Lyft, Uber, and Airbnb; and
online labor markets. We will review recent research that aims to both
understand and design such markets. Emphasis on mathematical modeling and
methodology, with a view towards preparing Ph.D. students for research in this
area. Prerequisites: Mathematical maturity; 300-level background in
optimization and probability; prior exposure to game theory.
