@johnjhorton I don't think I can say a whole lot on twitter but I'm happy to go to email.

[Naomi Utgoff @NaomiUtgoff]

@johnjhorton In all seriousness, this is an open market design problem and we (me, coauthors) hope to have a paper soon.

[Naomi Utgoff @NaomiUtgoff]

(If you saw me present "Relational College Admissions via the Old Boys' Club" at a conference, this is the same paper. If you would like to coauthor on a paper doing structural estimation of this model, please be in touch!)

My paper "Information-Based Discrimination" is now accepted at Mathematical Social Sciences, in which I uncover a new-to-economics discrimination channel!

[Naomi Utgoff @NaomiUtgoff]

This result is (to my knowledge) the first new theoretical discrimination channel in 50 years, distinct from taste-based bias (favoring members of certain groups over others) and statistical discrimination (interpreting individual performance based on known group attributes).

I am thrilled that our paper "A Position Assignment Experiment Among Active Duty USN Physicians" was accepted yesterday at the Journal of Mechanism and Institution Design! Thanks to Rich Childers for inviting me to this project!

🚨New Paper🚨
Quantifying Inefficiency
Joint w/@ImEllaSegev

Social choice theory provides ways for aggregating individuals' preferences, to tell us what's better for society: alternative a or alternative b. This theory is silent on how much a is better than b. 1/9
