In this fifth podcast, we discuss covid vaccine appointments, the potential for a black market, and how to address this issue. When I hear that scientific research is useless, and doesn't connect to the world, I tend to pick market design examples, which is one of the fields of research of Pr.Hakimov and the topic of this podcast.

For example, market design led to significant improvements in kidney transplant allocation, or in the case of our discussion to find a solution to prevent the black market for appointment (scalpers). The results of Pr.Hakimov paper, published one of the top 5 journals of economics, has practical use in numerous situations: concerts, doctors' appointments, visa etc.

Pr.Rustam Hakimov is a tenure track assistant professor at the University of Lausanne. His research is connected to experimental and behavioral economics as well as market design.
