ORIE 6180 - The Design of Online Marketplaces Spring. 3 credits. Student option grading.
Prerequisite: ORIE 6500 or equivalent. Prior exposure to game theory/microeconomics is useful, but not essential.
S. Banerjee.
New online marketplaces are profoundly altering our social and economic interactions. They enable unprecedented levels of monitoring and control over their participants; the complexity of their underlying functions results in the platforms and their participants interacting in intricate and subtle ways; finally, many online marketplaces are reaching scales where small design changes can have a huge impact on their performance. In this course, we will: (i) look at several important online marketplaces, and highlight their unique economic and operational challenges, and (ii) develop stochastic models that provide a principled way to reason about their operations.
