Market Design Workshop
The Market Design Workshop, organized by Professors Peter Coles, Ben Edelman, and Al Roth, will meet each month through the 2007-2008 school year.
The Market Design Workshop features an informal, roundtable format for presenting early-stage work. We welcome submissions of early projects -- especially projects that haven't been presented elsewhere, and projects for which no paper has been circulated to date.
