Australia's Ecosystem in Market Design
Australia's ecosystem in market design has been growing and shining in multiple places. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Melbourne University's Centre for Market Design (cmd.org.au) and also revisit the UTS Centre for Policy and Market Design in Sydney (https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/our-research/centre-policy-and-market-design). It was great to meet so many researchers working interesting topics in Melbourne. Similarly, the UTS center that originally started in 2015 is in full swing and in the capable hands of the Isa Hafalir who moved recently to UTS from CMU. Of course, much closer to home, we have teams at UNSW and Data61 working on market design including ADT, CSIRO digital productivity, and the AGORA market design center at UNSW.
