PhD PROGRAMS � Economics The doctoral program in economics in the Krannert School of Management has a strong quantitative and analytical orientation that provides students with cutting-edge research skills and a broad understanding of economic institutions. The student-to-faculty ratio is low, ensuring personal attention from our committed faculty. Mouli Modak Students have access to state-of-the-art research tools, including Economics PhD Student the Vernon Smith Experimental Economics Laboratory and computational resources, so they can produce work on the research frontier. Our students leverage these opportunities to find employment in research, teaching, business and government. I find helpful people every­ where in the department. Professors are very welcom­ ing toward curious questions, and many of them have an open-door policy. The departmental seminars and coffee hours are instrumen­ tal in bringing students and faculty in touch with recent research in the field. My stay of nearly two years has been fulfilling, and I do not regret giving up a corporate job offer to pursue research. One of the nice things about our program is that we have a low student-to-faculty ratio. It provides the students with more hands-on experience being involved with faculty research. Tim Cason Distinguished Professor of Economics, Robert and Susan Gadomski Chair in Economics PhD PROGRAMS � Management � A unique characteristic of the Krannert management doctoral programs is the variety of specialization areas available to students: accounting, finance, management information systems, marketing, quantitative methods/management science, strategic management, and supply chain and operations management.

  • Putting Auction Theory to Work
    Putting Auction Theory to Work Paul Milgrom With a Foreword by Evan Kwerel © 2003 “In Paul Milgrom's hands, auction theory has become the great culmination of game theory and economics of information. Here elegant mathematics meets practical applications and yields deep insights into the general theory of markets. Milgrom's book will be the definitive reference in auction theory for decades to come.” —Roger Myerson, W.C.Norby Professor of Economics, University of Chicago “Market design is one of the most exciting developments in contemporary economics and game theory, and who can resist a master class from one of the giants of the field?” —Alvin Roth, George Gund Professor of Economics and Business, Harvard University “Paul Milgrom has had an enormous influence on the most important recent application of auction theory for the same reason you will want to read this book – clarity of thought and expression.” —Evan Kwerel, Federal Communications Commission, from the Foreword For Robert Wilson Foreword to Putting Auction Theory to Work Paul Milgrom has had an enormous influence on the most important recent application of auction theory for the same reason you will want to read this book – clarity of thought and expression. In August 1993, President Clinton signed legislation granting the Federal Communications Commission the authority to auction spectrum licenses and requiring it to begin the first auction within a year. With no prior auction experience and a tight deadline, the normal bureaucratic behavior would have been to adopt a “tried and true” auction design. But in 1993 there was no tried and true method appropriate for the circumstances – multiple licenses with potentially highly interdependent values.

  • Golden Goose Award
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Barry Toiv July 17, 2014 202-408-7500, [email protected] ECONOMISTS BEHIND THE FCC’S SPECTRUM AUCTIONS TO RECEIVE GOLDEN GOOSE AWARD 3rd Annual Golden Goose Award Ceremony to be held Sept. 18 at the Library of Congress; Science Correspondent Miles O’Brien to be Master of Ceremonies Robert Wilson, Paul Milgrom and R. Preston McAfee, whose basic research on game theory and auctions enabled the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to first auction spectrum licenses in 1994, were announced today as recipients of the 2014 Golden Goose Award. They will receive their awards on September 18 at the third annual Golden Goose Awards ceremony in Washington, DC, along with other 2014 awardees. The ceremony will be held at the Library of Congress, with science correspondent Miles O’Brien serving as Master of Ceremonies. The Golden Goose Award honors researchers whose federally funded research may not have seemed to have significant practical applications at the time it was conducted but has resulted in major economic or other benefits to society. Including that first FCC auction in 1994, the agency has conducted 87 auctions, raising over $60 billion for the U.S. Treasury and enabling the proliferation of wireless technologies that make life convenient, safe and connected. Additionally, the basic auction process they developed has been used the world over not only for other nations’ spectrum auctions but also for items as diverse as gas stations, airport slots, telephone numbers, fishing quotas, emissions permits, and electricity and natural gas contracts. “Without access to spectrum, America would be trapped in a wireless purgatory,” said Rep.

  • Interview: R. Preston Mcafee
    INTERVIEW r. Preston mcafee Just about every economist, of course, is excited about economics. And many economists are excited about technology. Few, however, have mashed those two interests together as thoroughly as Preston McAfee. Following a quarter-century career in academia at the California institute of Technology, the university of Texas, and other universities, McAfee was among the first economists to move from academia to a major technology firm when he joined yahoo in 2007 as chief economist. Many of the younger economists he recruited to yahoo are now prominent in the technol- ogy sector. He moved to google in 2012 as director of strategic technologies; in 2014, he joined Microsoft, where he served as chief economist until last year. McAfee combined his leadership roles in the indus- try with continued research, including on the eco- nomics of pricing, auctions, antitrust, and digital advertising. He is also an inventor or co-inventor on 11 patents in such wide-ranging areas as search engine advertising, automatically organizing collections of digital photographs, and adding user-defined gestures to mobile devices. While McAfee was still a professor in the 1990s, he and two Stanford university econo- mists, Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson, designed the EF: How did you become interested in economics? first Federal Communications Commission auctions of spectrum.
