2026 Conference on Mechanism and Institution Design
Our 2026 Conference on Mechanism and Institution Design has taken place between June 22-26, 2026, at York, UK. The conference was organized by Yuan Ju, Paul Schweinzer, and Zaifu Yang, hosted as in-person meeting by the University of York, Department of Economics and Related Studies.
We gratefully thank the Department of Economics and Related Studies, University of York for the generous administrative and financial support to the CMID26.
The conference welcomed paper submissions from all fields of economics, business, finance, politics, computer science, operations research, law, and history which are or may be relevant to mechanism or institution design in a broad sense, regardless of whether contributions are theoretical, empirical, experimental, or practical.
York is a beautiful historical city with a rich heritage and a wealth of attractions being one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK.
We have secured very good deals from a number of hotels with direct booking links below (use them for the agreed special rates rather than the public ones online). Please feel free, of course, not to use these options but your own searches. However, in our experience, the special prices we negotiated are good; as organisers we have no vested interests and do not receive any benefit from the hotels other than your satisfaction. June is usually a nice and busy season here and York is a highly popular tourist city. So it is sensible to book your accommodation relatively early.
