Market Design at 25, May 14-15 in Washington DC

The NBER is holding a conference in May, in Washington.

"The conference, which has been organized by Irene Lo, Michael Ostrovsky, and Parag Pathak, is timed to roughly commemorate the 25th anniversary of the first FCC spectrum auction, in 1994, the redesign of the National Resident Match Program (begun in 1995, completed in 1998), and the launch of the sulphur dioxide allowance-trading program under Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments (amended in 1990, initiated in 1995).  The conference goal is to assess the key contributions of market design in a number of specific fields and policy areas, and to identify key open questions that are priorities for future research."
