I have three updates to report:

1. My work on “Outer Space Auctions” was recently featured on my university’s main website earlier this week! Check it out here.
2. I also presented my work at the annual Huber Hurst Research Seminar at the University of Florida (UF) last month (19-20 Jan.), where I received excellent feedback from my colleague and friend Justin Evans, who teaches business law and ethics at Georgia Southern University. (I will describe and discuss the main points raised by Professor Evans in a future post.)
3. Lastly (for now), I discovered on SSRN (where else?) an excellent survey article on “Matching, Auctions, and Market Design” by Matthew O. Jackson, who teaches economics at Stanford University. (I am writing up a new paper describing my proposed auction mechanism in greater detail than before, and my new draft will incorporate some of the insights in Jackson’s survey article as well as the points made by Professor Evans.)
