I study a case of successful institutional design—the redesign of the National Resident Matching Program—and argue that economists assume three roles when designing an institution, each of which complements the other two: first, the designer combines positive and normative modeling to formalize policy goals and to design possible mechanisms for bringing them about. Second, the engineer refines the design by conducting experiments and computational analyses. Third, the plumber implements the design in the real world and mends it as needed. – Reproduced  aEconomic design, Engineering, Plumbing, Normative modeling, Algorithmic bias927525 aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences  aINSTITUTIONS cAR 00102ddc40709392492aIIPAbIIPAd2021-09-22h51(2), Mar, 2021: 215-238pAR125560r2021-09-22yAR
