Northwestern University has awarded the 2009 Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in Economics to Prof. Paul Milgrom of Stanford University for his contributions in many fields of modern economic theory, including auction and market design, information economics and economics of organizations. The prize lecture given by Prof. Milgrom was titled "The Promise and Problems of Market Design", in which "he reviewed the goals of market design and the unavoidable trade-offs that are sometimes required, and explored how economists should seek to resolve these trade-offs."
