恕我直言，我看过很多书这本书我实在是不知道它想写什么，说什么。我第一次感觉有上当受骗的感觉。有没有高人指点一下？
The below is a review of the MP3 audiobook version of this work
This book is an examination of matchmaking in markets where conventional price making does not apply. For example in the market for kidneys, on-line dating services, selection processes used in placing high school students in NY and Boston and universities in general and similar such markets. The book is interesting in many ways. One is the description that Dr. Roth provides on these markets that are so ignored in economics departments. He provides a decent discussion and analysis as to how they work. In addition he provides a discussion as to what variables affect them (i.e., depth of market, speed required for decision making, etc.) and how. Based on this readers can see what constitutes good and badly functioning markets in these areas. An excellent discussion of these, all the more important, as stated previously, that their existence is barely even mentioned in economics classes.
In addition, there is also some discussion relating to institutions and how they are important to well-functioning markets in these areas. This part of the book, however, is relatively weak. It is too short and hence lacks the really in-depth discussion that is really needed. This is also ironic in that the institutional structure of these markets is very important to their functioning.
Regarding the audiobook, its reader sounds very much like Dr. Roth. This includes his inflexions, tone, etc. It reminded me of him as I had him as a student. The reader probably attended a lecture or two of his.
In conclusion, a very good book for those interested in the functioning of non-price markets.
When I studied economics, I thought it was incredible irrelevant in many ways. It just didn't match what I experienced and observed in the real world. Thankfully, since then, the field of behavioral economics has grown dramatically to help explain the reality of markets. That's why I found Dr. Roth's book very fascinating.
For some of the markets explored in the book, I felt I almost needed a scorecard to keep track of the "who gets what and why." Far from being a flaw in the writing, it truly illustrated just how complex some markets are... and how increasingly complex some of them are becoming. Pity the poor folks for whom these market situations are an everyday reality. (I especially had sympathy for the parents who had to make school choices for their children. Looked more akin to gambling!)
I think this book has some great insight for the some of the new "sharing" markets where money may not be a deciding factor.
It may not be quick read due to the extreme amount of explanation that was sometimes necessary to describe the various markets. But definitely a treat for those who like to dig into behavioral economic issues.
This is a book of real intelligence, explaining deep concepts in a simple way, and a model for how difficult concepts can be explained to those without much background. The author explains a few basic concepts of market design and then shows how he used these concepts in the design of various markets, including markets for matching kidneys for transplant, hospital residencies, or school admissions. The book is short, about as long as it should be, and avoids the usual padding found in many social science books. The reader is then free to investigate the subject matter in greater detail if he wishes. The author's tone is that of a good teacher trying to instill knowledge without at the same time trying to show that he is the smartest or wittiest person in the room. Another plus is that the author refrains from giving his opinions on the various trade offs, but, rather, spots some of the issues and then leaves it to the reader to make up his own mind.
