I am thinking of creating a new post category called “academic discourse” so that we do not feel limited to “weekly ramblings” 
Anyways, my goal this week is somewhat modest. I will be making a list of the various mechanisms that are mentioned in the many mechanism-design papers we have been reading and also the various types of problems that they can be / have been applied. Also a list of the handful of properties (eg., stability, Pareto efficiency, and strategy-proofness) as they apply to each…
Perhaps a tabular display will make it even more useful…
