Algorithm-Robust Market Design

If you would like to participate and to stay up to date about upcoming presentations, please join our mailing list. You will receive the Zoom link for each talk.

The seminar presentations are scheduled to last 60 minutes: 45 minutes of presentation and 15 minutes for both comments and questions.

We will experiment with various methods for questions: A moderator collects questions during the presentation. Speakers will be encouraged to pause every few slides to allow a gap for questions. The moderator will relay clarification questions or unmute selectively during the talk. Remaining questions will be collected and asked in the discussion period.

Just like with other initiated virtual seminars, these rules are subject to change as we gain experience with how to handle the seminar most efficiently.

The idea for this format was borrowed from the Chamberlain Seminar. Other online seminars can be found at the AEA website.

The Virtual Market Design Seminar is an open online and inter-institutional seminar. The seminar was inspired by events that could not take place in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resulting positive experiences ensured that it was continued after the pandemic. Seminars cover all fields from market design. Talks take place bi-weekly on Monday at 4:00-5:00pm CEST (Paris time) on Zoom.
