Durham Research in Economic Analysis and Mechanisms

Durham Research in Economic Analysis and Mechanisms (DREAM) focuses on three prominent areas:  

1. Economic Design and Policy
2. Economic Behaviour in Dynamic Environments
3. Industrial Organization 

Other areas that also draw strong attention from the centre are the nature and origin of market power and its distortions on the economy, economic analysis under bounded rationality, the design of contests  and prediction markets.  DREAM organises the Durham Economic Theory Conference and co-organises, together with the Universities of Bristol, Carlos III and Southampton, the Virtual Seminars in Economic Theory (VSET) and the MSET.
