   This book presents systematic procedures for designing mechanisms that achieve specified performance and economize on the resources required to operate the mechanism, i.e., informationally efficient mechanisms. Our systematic design procedures can be viewed as algorithms for designing informationally efficient mechanisms.

   Allocative Efficiency: A neoclassical concept referring to the allocation of productive resources (capital, labour, etc.) in a manner which best maximizes the well-being (or “utility”) of individuals.

   highered.mheducation.com › sites › dl

   Supply and demand are mechanisms by which our market economy functions. Changes in supply and demand affect prices and quantities produced, which in turn affect profit, employment, wages, and government revenue. Chapter 3 introduces models explaining the behavior of consumers and producers in markets, as well as the effects of government ...

   economics.mit.edu › sites › default

   This essay provides an introduction to our recent work on robust mech-anism design. The objective is to provide an overview of the research agenda and its results. We present the main results and illustrate many of them in terms of a common and canonical example, the single unit auction with interdependent values.

   What is a mechanism in economics?

   • A mechanism is a mathematical structure that models institutions through which economic activity is guided and coordinated. There are many such insti-tutions; markets are the most familiar ones.

   What is mechanism design in economics?

   • We can think of mechanism design as the engineering part of economic theory. Most of the time in economics, we look at existing economic institutions and try to explain or predict the outcomes that those institutions generate. This is called the positive or predictive part of economics. Perhaps 80% to 90% of economists do positive economics.

   How does mechanism design work?

   • In mechanism design, we do just the opposite by starting with the outcomes. We identify the outcomes we would like to have. And then we work backwards to see whether we can engineer institutions (mechanisms) that will lead to those outcomes. This is the normative or prescriptive part of economics.

   What is the mechanism design literature?

   • The mechanism design literature of the last thirty years has been a huge success on a number of different levels. There is a beautiful theoretical literature that has shown how a wide range of institutional design questions can be formally posed as mechanism design problems with a common structure.

   How do changes in supply and demand affect market activity?

   • Changes in supply and demand affect prices and quantities produced, which in turn affect profit, employment, wages, and government revenue. Chapter 3 introduces models explaining the behavior of consumers and producers in markets, as well as the effects of government policies on market activity.

   Can a mechanism design be similar to a first price auction?

   • A similar approach would seem to have promise in the realm of mechanism design as well. For example, in a first price auction, one might attempt to find the set of possible equilibrium bid distributions that are generated by all information structures consistent with a given common prior over valuations.
