Mathematics and Computer Science of Market and Mechanism Design

Abstract

Mechanism design is in the intersection of math, OR, CS and Economics. 
My talk today will be about mechanism design, together with some parts of economics that typically fall outside of theoretical mechanism design but which inform a good deal of practical market design.
My main example will be the design of the main marketplace for new American doctors (the resident Match), including new issues that trouble that market today.
