What property rights do NFTs facilitate, exactly, and what social structures will they ultimately support? I've been having fun exploring/learning about this topic with Scott Kominers, and will participate in a related panel at the Princeton University DeCenter decenter.princeton.edu/events/decente…
I just had a great time at Princeton University DeCenter on a panel about NFTs, with Laura Rodriguez🌴, Charlie Durbin, Matt Weinberg. Many thanks to the audience for not tearing us apart for claiming that NFTs will become even more important after the gold rush dies down :-)
Giving a talk about radio spectrum reallocation, and how it can be seen as an example of AI for market design, at NBER's New Directions in Market Design Conference. You can watch live at youtube.com/watch?v=2IECuz…. I'm on at 3:40 EST. Also in my session Sven Seuken Hal Varian.

A short video surveying my research on machine learning for market design and analysis (for non-specialists). Snazzy work by UBC Studios! youtu.be/EpuA2xm3tYY CAIDA_UBC UBC Computer Science
A great article about my research just appeared in University of British Columbia Alumni magazine. It's perhaps the most thoughtful and accurate article that has resulted from my being interviewed by a reporter (Richard Littlemore) --except that I don't think radiologists analyze electrocardiograms🙂
