Abstract

Is Economic Design a Normative or a Positive Agenda? This paper provides some thoughts about this question. Readers should feel free to disagree with all of them.

There are no connections between these pages and chemistry, as far as the author knows. Thanks to Hervé Moulin for his kind invitation to join this interesting project, and to coauthors Antonio Cabrales, Geoffroy de Clippel, Kfir Eliaz, Takashi Kunimoto, Rene Saran, and Rajiv Vohra for many helpful discussions over the years. Bobby Pakzad-Hurson and Jesse Shapiro provided comments and encouragement.
