Piotr Dworczak is a Research Fellow at The Becker Friedman Institute for Research in Economics. He studies mechanism and information design, with interests in auction design, matching theory, and information in financial markets. He participated in the Review of Economic Studies Tour meetings in Europe in May 2017 before beginning his fellowship at The Becker Friedman Institute. He will join the Northwestern University economics faculty in 2018. Before seeking his PhD at Stanford, he earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics at the University of Warsaw and one in economics at the Warsaw School of Economics. In particular, his research examines design problems that arise when a mechanism is embedded in a larget market that influences agents’ continuation payoffs. In such environments, the designer decides how much information to disclose as part of the mechanism design problem. The theory has applications to auctions followed by bargaining or resale and to the design of financial over-the-counter markets.
