October 17, 2007Lecture on Mechanism DesignArnold KlingHe's not a Nobel Laureate, but Al Roth gave a recent lecture at Google on the topic. He talks about job matching and kidney sales as examples. Bonus question: can you name the economist who introduces Roth? Thanks to Greg Mankiw for the pointer.

Mike writes: If you listen carefully at the end of the introduction, Al Roth says to the introducer, "Thanks, Hal." It is none other than Hal Varian. Al Roth also has an article in the October 2007 issue of the Harvard Business Review, covering the same general topics.

I should email him this link...I thought it was really neat to think about designing markets and how to go about getting it right is completely in the realm of mech. design and is apparently very difficult, complex, and challenging.
