I'll post market design related news and items about repugnant markets. See also my Stanford profile. I have a general-interest book on market design: Who Gets What--and Why The subtitle is "The new economics of matchmaking and market design."
Al -- this is fantastic news. Market Design @ Harvard misses you. We understand if you aren't able to give your guest lecture this Friday ;)
A funny coincidence is that I just taught our class on prediction markets last Friday, and one of the markets that we described as difficult to predict (due to limited information on which to make educated bets) was the Nobel Prize in economics. I guess you would have agreed, even if you had been sitting in the classroom...
Congratulations from Poland! With Nobels given to scientists such as Alvin Roth people can see that economic science can also be about solving real-world problems, not only about creating highly abstract models with dubious practical relevance.
We teach Prof Roth's work in several of our public administration courses. I first heard about the Prize from one of the students from my class last semester, who sent an e-mail to the class about how exciting it was to see the Prize go to someone whose papers they'd studied. This kicked off a long line of comments from other students about how fondly they remembered reading Prof Roth's work.
It's probably because, when I teach his papers, I steal all his jokes.
Matching is a very interesting fild and also pretty complicated which requires a solid mathmatics foundation,in real life we need it a lot to sovel problems. Thanks for your so outstanding contributions. Your humble personaliy in the call interview impressed me greatly. Sincere congratulations!From Chinese girls,but now working in Sao Paulo in Brazil
