The Conference on Economic Design is the bi-annual conference of The Society for Economic Design (SfED). This year conference will take place in Istanbul Bilgi University, organized by Murat Sertel Center for Advanced Economic Studies. The conference aims to advance the scientific discipline of design of economic and political institutions. It aims to be the main interdisciplinary venue for scientists who work in the area of institutional design in various disciplines such as economics, political science, computer science, and operations research. Consequently, paper submissions from many different fields are encouraged, e.g., game theory, market design, mechanism design and implementation theory, industrial organization, social choice theory, public economics, welfare economics, political economy, experimental economics, computational economics, etc. We intend to design sessions acoording to topics rather than methodology.
