EC 2025
INFORMS Workshop on Market Design

      Location: Stanford University (TBD)

The 2025 INFORMS Workshop on Market Design will be held on July 10th, 2025 in conjunction with the EC 2025 conference. The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners that work on market design, and will represent a broad range of perspectives from more theoretical to more applied and empirical work. As with previous iterations, the workshop is sponsored and organized by the INFORMS Section on Auctions and Market Design, i.e., the workshop is a successor of

• INFORMS Workshop on Market Design 2024

• INFORMS Workshop on Market Design 2023

• INFORMS Workshop on Market Design 2022

• INFORMS Workshop on Market Design 2021

• INFORMS Workshop on Market Design 2019

• INFORMS Workshop on Mathematical Optimization in Market Design 2018

Market design is a field of applied and theoretical research that sits comfortably on the intersection of computer science, economics, and operations research. In recent decades, the theory and applications of market design have blossomed. In this workshop, we will focus on a set of promising, new applications of market design. We are particularly interested in exploring research areas which are just recently making their impact on practice, including empirical work on evaluating mechanisms and approaches in applications. Topics include but are not limited to:

• - Machine learning and generative AI in market design
• - Mathematical optimization and pricing in markets
• - Iterative multi-object auctions
• - Procurement auctions
• - Energy markets
• - Matching with constraints and complex preferences
