Controversial markets, black markets, and market design (in Brazil)

 Below is a Youtube video of all the talks given at the 4th International Workshop on Game Theory and Economic Applications at the University of São Paulo last Wednesday.

My talk, whose title was "Controversial markets, black markets, and market design"  is introduced at minute 2:24 (and for some of you the link below should start up there). The talk before mine is by Bob Wilson, and the one after by Paul Milgrom, but the video camera was on all the time, so you have to scroll to get to the actual talks.)

 

My talk begins with some general discussion of how market design and engineering economics are related to game theory. Then I introduce kidney exchange as the talk's main example, and discuss some of the accompanying controversies, including those currently being encountered in Brazil.

Program for the Workshop on Game Theory and Economic Applications, São Paulo, July 26-August 2

 Here's a high level overview of the program, which begins today.

And here's the detailed day by day program. 

 I'm expecting to speak on Wednesday, which looks to be a busy day:

 

 

Introduction to market design and medicine: video of my public lecture in Taiwan

 Here's a video of the talk I gave in Taiwan on Markets, marketplaces and medicine. My talk begins at around minute 9:35, after introductions and photographs, and the camera focuses on me rather than on my slides, but I think you can follow the talk well even without seeing the slides.  A Q&A session begins at around minute 59:45, with the first question being about marriage (in which I get to quote Claudia Goldin on dads versus duds:)*
