• "Dynamic Mechanism Design" by Benny Moldovanu, Sept 30, Oct 5, Oct 7, Oct 12, Oct 14, Oct 19, Oct 21 (12-1:30; in LEV G44 on Mondays and in LEV G43 on Wednesdays).
  The mini course will survey several recent developments in dynamic mechanism design. Topics included: sequential assignment models and order statistics, queuing models, continuous-time revenue management models, dynamic Clarke-Groves-Vickrey mechanisms, Bayesian learning and implementation, and mechanism design with interdependent values.
