Market Design Impact Award to Hassidim, Romm, and Shorrer

 The Hebrew University breaks the news with this congratulatory message:

"Congratulations to our very own Assaf Romm  and coauthors! 🎉Assaf, along with Avinatan Hassidim and Ran Shorrer , has been awarded the inaugural INFORMS Auctions and Market Design (AMD) Market Design Impact Award- recognizing major contributions in market design over the past 15 years.
Their groundbreaking work has transformed both theory and practice, from redesigning Israel’s Psychology Master’s admissions and Pre-Military Academy programs to improving the medical internship match, impacting thousands of lives. Beyond implementation, their research revealed how real-world behavior can differ from theoretical predictions, helping to pioneer the field of behavioral market design.
Through innovative design, rigorous theory, and a deep understanding of human behavior, Assaf and his coauthors have shown how market design can address pressing social needs while advancing the field.
👏 Remarkable achievement! "
