Imagine you could call up a friend and say, "Meet me at the bar and tell me what's going on with the economy." Now imagine that's actually a fun evening. That's what we're going for at Planet Money.

We produce a twice-weekly podcast and create radio stories for Morning Edition, All Things Considered and This American Life. We also write a blog.

The Economic Science Laboratory (ESL) at the University of Arizona was founded in 1985. The Director of ESL from 1985 to 2001 was Vernon L. Smith, 2002 Nobel Laureate in Economics. Since its inception, the ESL has been a leading laboratory in the study of economic behavior and market performance. Research covers many aspects of economic decision-making, strategic behavior, and performance of market institutions. ESL research is consistently supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and is published in leading journals in economics, game theory, econometrics, management science, finance, and accounting.

This is a still very preliminary update of the page I will now display at stanford... but I'm making a start. It's been a while since I comprehensively updated this page, but I've kept updating my Market Design Blog. You can find my latest updates by searching for 2/9/16 on this page; they mostly concern organ donations and medical matches. I am the Craig and Susan McCaw Professor of Economics at Stanford (and the Gund Professor Emeritus of Economics and Business Administration at Harvard). Right after moving to Stanford I shared the 2012 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. My research is in game theory, experimental economics, and market design (for which game theory, experimentation, and computation are complementary tools).
