HTML:<p><b>"In his fluent and accessible book, Mr. Roth vividly describes the successes of market design." — Economist.com?<br /> "In this fascinating, often surprising book, Alvin Roth guides us through the jungles of modern life, pointing to the many markets that are hidden in plain view all around us." — Dan Ariely, author of <i>Predictably Irrational</i> and <i>The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty</i></b><br /> <br /> Most of the study of economics deals with commodity markets, where the price of a good connects sellers and buyers. But what about other kinds of "goods," like a spot in the Yale freshman class or a position at Google? If you've ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to college or guided your child into a good kindergarten, asked someone out on a date or been asked out, you've participated in a kind of market. This is the territory of matching markets, where "sellers" and "buyers" must choose each other, and price isn't the only factor determining who gets what.<br /> In <i>Who Gets What—and Why,</i> Nobel laureate Alvin E. Roth reveals the matching markets hidden around us and shows us how to recognize a good match and make smarter, more confident decisions.<br /> <br /> <b>"Mr. Roth's work has been to discover the most efficient and equitable methods of matching, and implement them in the world. He writes with verve and style . . . <i>Who Gets What—and Why</i> is a pleasure to read." — <i>Wall Street Journal</i><br /> <br /> "A book filled with wit, charm, common sense, and uncommon wisdom." — Paul Milgrom, professor of economics, Stanford University and Stanford Business School</b></p>.
