An Introduction to the Theory of Mechanism Design

Tilman Borgers offers the first book-length introduction into the theory of mechanism design. Written in a very personal and masterful style, he carefully covers the main developments in theory of mechanism design-the theory of how to choose the rules of the game-over the past decades. It will be an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses for many years to come. (Dirk Bergemann, Douglass and Marion Campbell Professor of Economics and Chair, Yale University)
