Martin Van der LindenVisiting Assistant Professor

Biography

Dr. van der Linden comes to Emory from a Visiting Assistant Professor position at Utah State University. He studies the design and performances of markets and institutions using tools from microeconomics and game theory.

His research covers a wide range of applications from the design of assignment mechanisms for students in school districts to the choice of jury selection procedures, all the way to the ability of prediction markets to foster a consensus on the causes of climate change.
