The Centre for Market Design, based in the Department of Economics, is introducing a new postgraduate coursework program called the Specialist Certificate in Economic Design. Economic design provides a framework to understand the strategic interactions between parties in a given environment. The design and maintenance of markets and other economic institutions draws upon game theory and its important applications in matching markets, auctions, and incentive design. The program is aimed at public policy professionals as they diagnose and explore a range of policy problems, as well as potential solutions. Professionals with specific responsibility for procurement and other resource allocation roles will find the concepts and case studies especially valuable. The course comprises 2 x 12.5 subjects. Each subject comprises 2 modules that introduce students to Economic Design, auctions and secondary markets, contracts and matching mechanisms and a capstone experience. The course will be taught by experts in their respective fields with extensive experience in theory and practice.
