   Mechanism design, sometimes called implementation theory or institution design, [1] is a branch of economics, social choice, and game theory that deals with designing game forms (or mechanisms) to implement a given social choice function. Because it starts with the end of the game (an optimal result) and then works backwards to find a game that ...

   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.

   Mechanism design theory is a major breakthrough in the modern economic analysis of institutions and markets. It revolutionalised the way economists think about optimal institutions and regulation when governments don't “know it all.”. It has had a major impact on current policy-making and will continue to do so in the future. On Monday ...

   May 21, 2015 · Mechanism design is reverse game theory. Whereas game theory takes the rules of the game as a given and makes predictions about the behavior of strategic players, the theory of mechanism design goes a step further and selects the optimal rules of the game. A relatively new economic theory, mechanism design studies the instrument itself as well ...

   What is mechanism design theory?

   • Mechanism design theory built on the concept of game theory, which was broadly introduced by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern in their 1944 book, Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. Game theory is known in economics for the study of how different entities work together both competitively and cooperatively to achieve outcomes and results.

   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.
