- More Equal by Design: Economic Design Responses to Inequality
Market Design Under Weak Institutions
By: Benjamin N. Roth
Abstract
As market designers begin to address economic inequality, we will necessarily also
begin to engage marginalized populations who have so far not been served well by the
markets in which they participate. We will need new market designs for participants who
may not trust the people with whom they interact and who may not even trust the market
itself to operate as advertised. Put another way, we will need to operate under (perceived)
institutional weakness in which the rules of engagement may not be well enforced.
