Course Description
The purpose of the course is to provide a presentation of some recent developments in the study of auction and market design. The approach taken in the course will involve both theoretical and experimental methods. Much of the course will rely on recent research papers and will thus be advanced, but a definite attempt will be made to provide a self-contained exposition of the main concepts. A simplified introduction to some of the relevant mathematical notions will be given whenever necessary. Real life applications, mostly to spectrum auctions, will form a significant part of the course.

Professor of Economics, University of Zurich. Ph. D. in Economics, University of Amsterdam (1997). Professor Goeree’s research interests include Auctions (Policy, Theory and Experimental), Networks and Social Learning, Political Science and Bounded Racionality.
