Michael Yin

  Doctoral Student at Chicago Booth | Micro Theory, Market Design, & EconCS

I am a first year PhD candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I am interested in matching with endogenous market selection and privacy constraints, as well as applications like school choice and tech platforms. More broadly, I am a microeconomic theorist focused on market design and the intersection of economics and computer science.
