- We consider general utility models and information structures of the agents and illustrate when economic conclusions for designing simple mechanisms in classical settings extends for general environments. We show that whether economic conclusions can be generalized depends on the details of the generalizations. For example, in single-item auction, competition and...

- At its core, the purpose of microscopy is to make objects and their underlying structures visible under high magnification. With the remarkable progress of electron microscopy, the sub-micron “high” magnification of light microscopy has been completely refashioned to encompass subatomic length scales. Unfortunately, higher-magnification does little to negate existing interpretability...
