Market and Information System Design for Collaboration

In another application we are designing package auctions for allocating equipment time in large scientific collaboratories and testing our designs in human-subject experiments. In related projects, we integrate human-subject experiments and multi-agent simulations to test interactions between information system design, co-location and incentives when people are faced with problems they can solve collaboratively or independently.
