McCaw Professor of Economics at Stanford and the Gund Professor Emeritus of Economics and Business Administration at Harvard. He is the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board at IIPSC. He shared the 2012 Nobel memorial prize in Economics for his work on market design, and he is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
Among the markets Roth has designed (or, in this case, redesigned) is the National Resident Matching Program, through which most American doctors find their first employment. He has also helped in the reorganization of the market for more senior physicians, as they pursue subspecialty training, and in other labor markets. He helped design the high school matching system used in New York City, and the school matching systems used in Boston, Denver, and New Orleans and elsewhere. He is one of the founders and designers of kidney exchange in the United States, which helps incompatible patient-donor pairs find life-saving compatible kidneys for transplantation. |
