Market design is a field of economics that attempts to provide practical schemes for resource allocation problems. Mechanism design and matching theories underpin the field as a general methodological framework.

One of my areas of research is the problem of centralized school assignment where parents have difficulty understanding both the centralised school assignment and the quality of different schools.

Another area of research is with respect to market designs that attempt to balance inter-temporal choices in matching markets. For example, parents might wish to choose both when and where to start daycare.

Much of my research is about information asymmetries and problems of commitment between buyers and sellers in markets that evolve over time. My contributions includes the theory of money, the use of third-party information providers, and the choice of selling mechanisms - for example the choice to be a buyer or a seller or the choice to sell by an auction or a posted price.
