ABSTRACT:
Most markets are fragmented; many are dominated by large traders who have price impact. One of the salient developments in market design in recent years has been the work motivated by new data and questions concerning market fragmentation and imperfect competition. This talk will review recent advances in the literature on market design. Open problems will be discussed.
