Antoni Bosch Editor, S.A. Quién obtiene qué y por qué: La nueva economía del diseño de mercados
En este libro, Alvin Roth nos muestra lo frecuentes que son los mercados "de emparejamiento", en los que el dinero no es un factor determinante. Nos pasea desde una tribu de aborígenes en la que los matrimonios de los primogénitos se acuerdan antes de que nazcan, hasta páginas web como Airbnb o Uber, cuyo éxito se debe en gran medida a un diseño impecable de su mercado.Si alguna vez has sido seleccionado para un empleo o has escogido a alguien para un puesto de trabajo, si has solicitado ingresar en una universidad o has buscado escuela para tus hijos, si has propuesto a alguien una cita o si te la han propuesto a ti, entonces has participado en un mercado de emparejamiento. Roth nos muestra qué factores hacen que esos mercados funcionen, o no funcionen.

Princeton University Press The Handbook of Experimental Economics, Volume 2
When The Handbook of Experimental Economics first came out in 1995, the notion of economists conducting lab experiments to generate data was relatively new. Since then, the field has exploded. This second volume of the Handbook covers some of the most exciting new growth areas in experimental economics, presents the latest results and experimental methods, and identifies promising new directions for future research. Featuring contributions by leading practitioners, the Handbook describes experiments in macroeconomics, charitable giving, neuroeconomics, other-regarding preferences, market design, political economy, subject population effects, gender effects, auctions, and learning and the economics of small decisions. Contributors focus on key developments and report on experiments, highlighting the dialogue between experimenters and theorists. While most of the experiments consist of laboratory studies, the book also includes several chapters that report extensively on field experiments related to the subject area studied. * Covers exciting new growth areas in experimental economics* Features contributions by leading experts* Describes experiments in macroeconomics, charitable giving, neuroeconomics, market design, political economy, gender effects, auctions, and more* Highlights the dialogue by experimenters with theorists and each other* Includes several chapters covering field experiments related to the subject area studied

Princeton University Press The Handbook of Experimental Economics
This book, which comprises eight chapters, presents a comprehensive critical survey of the results and methods of laboratory experiments in economics. The first chapter provides an introduction to experimental economics as a whole, with the remaining chapters providing surveys by leading practitioners in areas of economics that have seen a concentration of experiments: public goods, coordination problems, bargaining, industrial organization, asset markets, auctions, and individual decision making. The work aims both to help specialists set an agenda for future research and to provide nonspecialists with a critical review of work completed to date. Its focus is on elucidating the role of experimental studies as a progressive research tool so that wherever possible, emphasis is on series of experiments that build on one another. The contributors to the volume--Colin Camerer, Charles A. Holt, John H. Kagel, John O. Ledyard, Jack Ochs, Alvin E. Roth, and Shyam Sunder--adopt a particular methodological point of view: the way to learn how to design and conduct experiments is to consider how good experiments grow organically out of the issues and hypotheses they are designed to investigate.
